If it ends up being the stator, shoot me a PM. I've got one for sale for pretty cheap.

cool

yea im trying to figues it out but the only problem is that my dad is the one with the volt meter and hes never home....but i think it had to be either my charging coil bc it looses alot of cranking power after 5 minutes of riding....or something is drawing power

Come pick mine up

ok so....i had the battery charging for a day, i came back 3 days later and it was reading 11V so bad battery?


also i have a new fresh battery that is reading 12.67 but when i hook it to my ski and start it up the voltage doesnt really change much it kinda bounces around around 12.45 -12.60

What was it reading right after the charging? Did you try what I said yet?

Your charging voltage needs to be atleast 13.

Something don't sound right about those readings. Check the resistance on the stator coils.

right after it was done charging it was 12....but when i came back 3 days later it was 11V


no i have not tried that but ill try it later today with some updates

:soapbox:

charge the agm type batts at 6 amps with a smart charger if your going to leave it for days. I use a reg charger at 6 volts and unplug it after a few hours when display gets close to 100% then let it sit on 2 amps a few more hours.

was the batt hot when you unpluged it after days?

Your battery's dead.

ive tried everything...........................

i put a spar stator, rectifier everything possible and still not fixed, is it possble that my msd could be the problem

also no draws, unless it is only drawing when it gets wet??? idk what to do anymore :rant:

Assuming the charging works the same as it would in a 550:

Check for an AC voltage across the charging coil when running. Post your results.

If it's got a voltage, check the voltage regulator. I think it's called a voltage rectifier.

U checked all your wires?

yes i was checking for ac voltage when it was running and it wasnt r4eading that it was charging....we did the same test on my frineds sj and it was reading that it was charging

 

[ger87410]

So, did you get an AC voltage? Was it high(~90), or low(~10)? Not DC.

If it's low, it's either you stator or your flywheel.

I don't think the flywheels can go bad.
