Troubleshooting Guide 3 amp Battery Charging System with 70 Watt Lighting Stator
NOTE: Zero ohmmeters on each scale to ensure accurate readings. Voltage tests should be made with engine
running at 3000 RPM - no load. Battery must be fully charged.

Conclusion
1. With engine running at 3000 RPM,
measure voltage across battery terminals
using a DC voltmeter.
1. If voltage is
more than 12.5 volts
,
charging system is OK.
If
voltage
is
12.5 volts or less
, the stator
or diode are probably faulty. Test the stator
and diode (Test 2, 3 and 4).
2. Disconnect the charging lead from battery.
With engine running at 3000 RPM,
measure voltage from charging lead to
ground using a DC voltmeter.
2. If voltage is
20 volts or more
, stator
winding is OK.
If
voltage
is
less than 20 volts
, test stator
using an ohmmeter (Tests 3 and 4).
3. With charging lead disconnected from
battery and engine stopped, measure
resistance from charging lead to ground
using an ohmmeter. Note reading.
Reverse the leads and measure resistance
again.
In one direction, the resistance should
be infi nity ohms (open circuit). With the
leads reversed, some resistance should be
measured (about midscale on Rx1 range).
3. If resistance is
low
in both directions, the
diode is shorted. Replace the diode.
If
resistance
is
high
in both directions,
the diode or stator winding is open. (Use
Test 4).
4. Cut the sleeving on the charging lead to
expose the diode connections.
Measure the resistance from the stator side
of diode to ground using an ohmmeter.
4. If resistance is approximately
0.5 ohms
,
stator winding is OK.
If
resistance
is
0 ohms
, stator winding is
shorted. Replace stator.
If
resistance
is
infi nity ohms
, stator
winding or lead is open. Replace stator.
1. Make sure lights are not burned out.
2. Disconnect the lighting lead from the wiring
harness.
With engine running at 3000 RPM,
measure voltage from lighting lead to
ground using an AC voltmeter.
3. With engine stopped, measure the
resistance of stator from lighting lead to
ground using an ohmmeter.
1. Replace burned out lights.
2. If voltage is
13 volts or more
, stator is OK.
Check for loose connections or shorts in
wiring harness.
If
voltage
is
less than 13 volts
, test stator
using an ohmmeter (Test 3).
3. If resistance is approximately
0.2 ohms
,
stator is OK.
If
resistance
is
0 ohms
, stator is shorted.
Replace stator.
If
resistance
is
infi nity ohms
, stator or
lighting lead is open. Replace stator.
