Does your motorcycle, scooter, or ATV have charging system problems? Maybe your engine has no spark? In this video I will teach you step by step how to test your stator and help you understand how the ignition system works. To understand how a stator works you should also know the functions of the pickup coil, charging coils, and the exciter coil. These all go hand in hand when testing a stator. I will teach you step by step so you have a full understanding of testing and functionality of the stator. specifically found in motorcycles, scooters, and ATV / UTV. In this video we will be using GY6 stators also know as qmj157 or qmi152 engines. 125cc, 150cc, and 170cc stators.

[@arthurtrahan2696]

As a mechanic by trade who has never worked on a scooter or moped, I must say that I found this video very informative. I never knew what a stator did or how it worked. Thank you very much for all the work you are doing to educate those of us that don't have all the knowledge that you do

[@nickr1184]

Just a very old permanent magnet alternator haha. Only its built behind the flywheel.

[@rustyshackleford6259]

Explained very clearly and not too fast or too slowly. Easy to follow along and understand, much appreciated.

Me too ive rewound the video like 20 times lol bjt everytime i watch again im a bit wiser

[@WILLY52368]

There have been video''s I've tried to follow along or tutorials where the person explains or try to explain what he's doing but I can tell you honestly there has not been one as much your video that I've watched where I can truly learn and remember something and apply it. What a very good instructor you will make or already are. For me a manual takes forever because of my disability to reading and memory loss where as soon as I done reading a sentence I forget what I just read. Bottom line is that you for sharing your talents with mechanical community out here who strive on repairing their own and getting satisfaction when all goes as plan because of unselfish people like you, Thank you

[@davidpaulsen449]

THANK YOU! I've been rebuilding 70's and 80's bikes for 15 years and someone brought me this GY6 and I've been mind-boggled trying to figure out the no-spark. I've never seen a DC Stator. I've always seen the rotor/stator into the Regulator/Rectifier (and onto the CDI box after '79/'80). All the manuals and test procedures I've found are for testing AC stators and I was starting to think someone hacked into the wiring. Seeing the DC stator on your table and the ground wire and pickup wire with no exciter made me so joyful. I totally get it now. Thanks for making this thorough and thoroughly enjoyable video. Many thanks.

[@karlphilipp9273]

Thank you sir. I worked on many types of vehicles and equipment over the course of my life. But electrical is one area I have always struggled with. You gave a very detailed thorough explanation of a problem I've been dealing with. As you said, there's no manuals or data out there. This is help me resolve a problem I have been dealing with for a while. I am now a subscriber. Again thank you!

Thank you sooooo much. I checked everything. All the resistance values, swapped CDI’s, swapped Coils, then finally checked the ‘reluctor to pickup coil’ gap. It was huge. Over 100”. I bent it closer and the bike finally started. 2001 KTM 300 EXC.

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to go through some of the minute things which you find in most videos people don't do it's like people think that everybody just automatically knows and I guess from a certain standpoint certain things people should know but when you point out the very small like the dumb stuff which most people would probably consider that's just common knowledge even in those small things when you go around to the big stuff it kind of brings it all together but I just wanted to thank you because for all of us out here that are trying to learn and trying to grow you know in our brains especially when it comes to electrical stuff the very very small stuff and to teach on a video like you're teaching a 5 year old is probably the best way to do it because if a thousand people watch this every one of them for the most part is going to have one little thing even if they knew everything else one thing is going to stand out that oh I didn't know that and I've had several of those just watching this video oh I didn't know that so appreciate you taking the time teach to us like 5 year olds because when it comes to electrical electrical it can be very confusing and the majority of us don't know much about electrical mine a little bit but not the majority and we don't know a lot about electrical it's a very difficult thing especially when it gets into real depth of running 15 different wires and 60 different places and a mile away in one little vehicle it's making it pretty pretty out there God bless

I've been hurting my brain trying to figure out my electrical system. Best video I've found by far, definitely going to sub just because that was very well explained. I'm trying to get my lights working without a battery. I have a 200cc engine with an 8 pole AC stator and can't get DC voltage from my rectifier. I'm just going to end up buying a new harness and stator.

[@doobyboy21]

Just subbed ! Exactly the info I was looking for to get my Lifan 125cc engine back to life ! Thankx a million !

[@aidanlyons1155]

Good job. Just FYI ,all coils in a magneto are ac, that’s how current is produced. It goes to a rectifier to make DC power if needed.

[@mondude9754]

I think he just called it a DC stator to correlate with the DC cdi box for dummies just because the stator meant for a DC cdi box does not have a capacitor charging coil

[@rjn1749]

Hi I'm no expert in electrical.. can i use the power from stator to rectifier into a headlight? a bit late to ask.

[@williamhaskellhaskell3162]

Hi any word on the timing coil voltage out put ? And will decrease the reluctor gap increase that

[@geoepi321975]

​@@williamhaskellhaskell3162voltage is dependent on the rpm but is low the trigger voltage

[@mmholling87]

​@geoepi321975 I don't think voltage changes with rpm, but the ac frequency does. Doesn't the voltage regulator keep the voltage consistent by controlling the amount of ground going into the windings?

Hey Rolling Wrench, Thank you for this informative video. I just changed out the Stator in my Yamaha 2000 VSTAR 1100 motorcycle. Last year my go to bike shop mentioned to me the bike isn't charging properly and its time to replace the stator. So last week I did it, no biggie right but now I know why they want $700 to change it out, its all labor. I haven't started it yet because I'm waiting for the new battery and I haven't put oil in it yet either. So I have the older stator and I was going through the various test that you thoroughly describe, its a 12 volt 3 phase stator. The stator resistance, was 4 ohms, the requirement is .36 to 44 ohms, it appears low and this may contributed to charging issue. But I believe the issue with it is when I tested the pickup coil resistance, it requires 189-231 ohms. There are 2 wires in the pickup a gray and a black, I switched my analog meter to 100k and tested it. Can I assume the gray wire was equivalent to your blue wire and the black is ground? My reading was nothing at all. I assume I'm doing this right, I think the pickup coil is smoked and attributed to the charging issue. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
