Stator Open Test

  1. Separate stator from rectifier. Set ohmmeter knob at "X1" and calibrate. Connect one probe to a stator phase lead terminal. Touch the other probe to another stator lead terminal. Check meter reading.
  2. Repeat this test with the other 2 stator lead combinations. If no meter movement occurs on a lead paired with either of the other phase leads, that phase is open and the stator must be replaced.
