Kohler K301 stator help

[evanloock 267]

The stator on my Charger 12 (breakerless ignition) has given up the ghost. It is only putting out 4 volts AC.  Anyone have one laying around?  Part # is 237877.  I am not converting to points.  Engine runs fine just won't charge the battery.

 

Thanks!

I just did.  Thanks.  Put it here as well in case any one of our electrical experts know why it might be putting out voltage (not totally dead) but not the 20+ AC volts per spec.

If neither leg of the stator output is shorted to ground, and there is continuity at low resistance between the legs, then there is an internal short in the stator winding.

Thank you I just sent him a PM.

I'll check that out and see what result I get.  I have just done the AC voltage test on the 2 leads coming off the stator so far and only got 4 volts (should be 20+). I see where there are shops that refurbish discontinued stators for motorcycles and ATV's.  I am going to check and see if they can redo this one.  Anyone here gone this route?
