2004LEBanshee Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Ok Ive been haveing this prob for a while and you guys said that I needed a multimeter to diagnose the problem. So I printed out the electical faQ and barrowed a multimeter. I started by taking the 4 prog connector apart and testing the stator. I took the pos and neg prob and touched the connector in every way possible and the guage went to 0 so I assumed the stator was fried like the directions said. I ordered a new ricki stator. When I got it I tested it first and it also read "0" I was like what the F*CK. So I put it on any way and still no run. WHY is the new stator testing 0? I am going to try a new guage wendsday but if it also reads 0 on both stators are they both no good? Has anyone experianced this BS? And whats RS policy on a faulty stator Quote
87sheerips Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 make sure the multimeter is set on ohms. just in case Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) it is. Im getting a buddy with a really expensive one to come over wends to test it but if it reads 0 I gonna be pi$$ed. Edited April 25, 2005 by 2004LEBanshee Quote

odaen Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 if the meter went to 0 with every combination, you're doing something wrong or the meter is broken. does it read 0 when the probe leads aren't touching anythying at all? Also, does the meter say 0 or 0L. If it's 0L, it's reading an open, or too much resistance for the range you are at on the meter. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) It has a brand new battery in it I just switched it. It starts at OO or infinity I believe then when it makes contact it bownces to the "0" K ohms mark. Edited April 25, 2005 by 2004LEBanshee Quote

It starts at OO or infinity I believe then when it makes contact it bownces to the "0" K ohms mark. 359937[/snapback] Are you sure you've got it set on the lowest range of Ohms? If so, when you touch the two leeds of the meter together you should get a reading of a small amount. (It's just the resistance of the meter's circuitry). Rare. Quote
