Stator checks out bad

[Banshee0028]

Ok, here is what the Clymers says about the stator:

 

Lighting coil resistence Yellow-to-Black 0.26-0.38 ohms

Pickup coil resistence White/Red-to- White/Green 94-140 ohms

Charging coil resistence Green-to-Red 13.7-20.5 ohms

 

The last 2 check out fine and within range. The first one Lighting Coil, ohms out to 0.00. Does this just mean its grounded wrong somewhere or is it bad? I have the motor out right now on my workbench being built. Everything seems in tact and installed right. Flywheel is not on yet. This first set of wires is also the 2 that are separate from the plug.

 

Also, my coil also checks out at 0 ohms. Is something wrong? It was running before I took it apart.

I would be wondering about your meter. Some meters, even one of my Flukes, do not have enough resolution to read accurately. Might want to try another meter.

Ahh, thats a good point! It is the lowest on the list too. I will do that ... Thanks :thumbsup:
