bmac229 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 I've got a 98 banshee with no spark. I was riding a sand bowl and it was pulling hard, and all of a sudden it lost power and died (felt almost like running out of gas). I suspect a bad stator, but I dont know how to test it to be sure. I'm not interested in just replacing parts until it runs. Anybody have any info I can use to diagnose this problem? Quote

bmac229 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Posted May 31, 2005 Yeah, I have a cheap multimeter that can read ohms. If I need something better, I could get it from a friend. Quote

Unplug the stator plug (has four wires) and also the yellow and black wire that come out of the stator and the plugs are right below the filters. Set the ohm meter on the low scale and read between the yellow and black wire, which is the lighting coil. It should read .26-.38 but if it reads no resistance at zero it still may be ok. I have three shees and they all read at zero and the manual says .26 to .38 Next read between the red and green wires and it should read between 13.7 and 20.5 Next read between the white and red and the white and white and green, you should read between 94 and 120 this is the pick up coil these are the specs for a stock stator. If you read no resistance between the red and green then your stator is shot. let me know what you come up with Ray Quote
bmac229 Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks, I'll try that and let you know how it works out. Quote
