xander450 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Guys, Hoping you can save me the trouble of pulling my flywheel to check something out... Bought a banshee motor with a ricky stator. There are seven wires coming out of it, and the wiring diagram shows there ought to be six. I've got red, green, red/white, green/white, two yellow and a black. So what do you figure - is there another explanation for the 2nd yellow wire other than a floated ground? Is there an easy way to check for a floated ground with a voltmeter? Thanks so much!

AKheathen Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 well, it's probably just a high output stator, which should be 100watts on one yellow, and 150watts on the other. just ohm out the yellows to black and ground. black should read ground to the engine, and each yellow should read around the range of 0.3-1.0ohms to ground(black). if it's a floated ground, then the yellows won't read anything to ground on a stock style, or they will only read to the black wire, and the black wire will not read to ground on a ho stator. if the guy didn't have a rectifier in the harness then it's likely just not floated. by the way, you cannot run the full wattage using the stock regulator. you would need to add a 2nd capable of the 150watt load.

xander450 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Awesome, thanks for the info! Ok, tested, it's HO, not floated. So knowing that, is there any reason not to do a partial DC conversion just for the lighting using the 150w stator output and isolate the ground on the DC side? Anyone, by chance, have a wiring diagram for a partial DC setup? Quote
AKheathen Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 well, all those 2 circuits run is lighting, so yes you can, but you only need to if you want to run a battery, or hid/led setup. pretty simple, once you remove the ground from where it is soldered on to the middle of the stator, attatch a new wire (leave the black wire alone, that keeps the engine grounded) now, you have the 3 wires that you can hook up 1 of 3 ways. first, you can get one regulator/rectifier and run one of the yellow wires and the new wire, you can run a 2nd and do the same, or you can get one 3-phase/dual input, and run both lighting circuits off that. just hook positive out to your lighting circuit and neg. to ground. there is also some setup with battery out and power out, too, to keep from draining the battery during long storage. i don't remember where, but there is directions on the site somewhere.

Alex my ricky had the same thing 2 yellows and a black no idea why Quote
AKheathen Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 my ricky had the same thing 2 yellows and a black no idea why well, read the damn thread dummy Quote
fastquad02blaster Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 well, read the damn thread dummy Wow. That's hilarious man. I get frustrated too. Quote
