stator testing?

[dmfisher71]

ok i need to set the voltage of my stator. i put everything together this past weekend hard time starting it but once it started it ran and idle perfect...went to start in last night NOTHING. pulled plugs and i am now getting no spark i know how to test the coil but not really sure how to test the stator and what voltge it should read. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

if you've been in there check your gap between your pickup and the bumps on the flywheel... if it's too far it will be hard to start and could possibly not even run as the pickup wont trigger and fire the ignition! the gap between the bumps on the flywheel and the pickup should be about the thickness of a matchbook cover.

You won't be checking voltage, you will be testing the resistance of the stator using an ohmmeter. It tells you how to do it in the electrical thread list above. Like it was already said, check the pickup coil gap also.

The best way to test a stator is with kick testing and a scope. It usually takes some experience so resistance testing becomes the norm. Usually if resistance is close to in range, you are fine. The meter usually will read OL (open line) when there is an issue.
