Stator Coil
VOLTAGE
(AC Generator - Regulated Output)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
post; then connect the black tester lead to the nega-
tive battery post.
3. With the engine running at a constant 3000 RPM
(with the headlights on), the meter must show
14-15.5 DC volts.
NOTE: If voltage is lower than specified, test
charging coil - no load.
VOLTAGE (Charging Coil - No
Load)
The connector is the black three-pin one on the right
side of the engine just above the starter motor.
NOTE: Test the engine-side of the connector.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Test between the three black wires for a total of
three tests.
3. With the engine running at the specified RPM, all
wire tests must show 60 AC volts.
NOTE: If both charging coil tests failed, check all
connections, etc., and test again. If no voltage is
present, replace the stator assembly.
RESISTANCE (Charging Coil)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three black wires for a total of
three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE (Trigger Coil)
1. Disconnect the gray four-pin connector on the right
side of the engine just above the starter motor.
2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the green wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the blue wire. The
meter reading must be within specification.
PEAK VOLTAGE
NOTE: All of the peak voltage tests should be
made using the Fluke Model 73 Multimeter with
Peak Voltage Reading Adapter. If any other type of
tester is used, readings may vary due to internal
circuitry.
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for this
test.
Trigger Coil
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the green wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the blue wire.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
4. The meter reading must be within specification.
Starter Relay
1. Remove the seat; then using the multimeter set to
the DC Voltage position, check the relay as fol-
lows.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
terminal; then connect the black tester lead to the
starter cable connection on the starter relay. The
meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: Make sure that the ignition switch is in the
ON position, transmission in neutral, brake lock
released, and the emergency stop switch in the
RUN position.
3. Depress the starter button while observing the
multimeter. The multimeter should drop to 0 volts,
a “click” should be heard from the relay, and the
starter motor should run.
NOTE: If a “click” is heard and any voltage is
indicated by the multimeter, replace the starter
relay. If no “click” is heard and the multimeter con-
tinues to indicate battery voltage, test the neutral
start relay.
! CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10
seconds.
! CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10
seconds.
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
