Metal hauler 7 #1 Posted July 13, 2014 I just did a motor swap on my B80, the 2 stator wires are the same color, does it matter which way they are hooked up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metal hauler 7 #4 Posted July 13, 2014 What is the best way of testing it, could i tell by the amp gauge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,223 #5 Posted July 13, 2014 Us an ohm meter. Across both leads of the stator it should read 0.1 to 0.2 ohms. If it's open, the stator is bad. Also check from one lead to ground, and then the other lead to ground. It should should not read anything. If it does the stator is shorted to ground. This is all covered in the Kohler K-Series Service Manual, available for download from the manuals section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH nut 553 #7 Posted July 14, 2014 The wires hook to the regulator See wire diagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,223 #8 Posted July 14, 2014 The regulator/rectifier has two tabs marked AC. That's where they attach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal hauler 7 #9 Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks, does it matter though which ones there hooked too, they are both white coming off the stator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,223 #10 Posted July 14, 2014 No, it is AC not DC. Either wire to either lug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
