evanloock 269 #1 Posted Sunday at 07:32 PM 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evanloock 269 #3 Posted Sunday at 09:58 PM (edited) 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.

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? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasaholic 397 #8 Posted 11 hours ago may want to pop your flywheel off and check the magnets in flywheel first as well.. - I have seen instances where magnets coming loose gave weird voltage readings , replacing flywheel solved the issue and the stator was just fine.... harder to find a good flywheel than to find a good stator.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 17,631 #9 Posted 3 hours ago Evan, can you post a picture of your bad stator? I have a couple of stators, some normal, some odd looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
