Stator Tests

Connect 12-volt battery and 36-watt test lamp to 2 of the stator connections. Repeat test using any other combination of 2 of the 3 connections. If lamp fails to light in either test, stator has an open coil.
Use 110-volt 15-watt test lamp, check insulation between any one of the 3 stator connections and laminations. See Fig 1. If lamp lights, replace stator.

Fig 1: Testing Stator Assembly Insulation Wires at each connection should be soldered.
