Test the Motor Stator in a piece of equipment before the motor it powers stops running. Engines in boats and vehicles depend on stators to provide the electrical spark needed for engine combustion. A stator (short for stationary) is the non-moving component of an electrical motor that consists of coils of wire connected to positive and negative leads. When an electrical current passes the stator coils a magnetic field is created that turns a motor to generate current for the engine spark.
Outboard stator test
1 Remove the outboard’s motor cover.
2 Find the stator, which sits on top of the engine block near the points and plugs.
3 Turn the multimeter on and set it to the resistance range needed by turning the meter’s dial to the corresponding setting.
4 Place the positive meter lead against the blue wire from the Magnetic Motor Parts – stator and place the black meter lead against the black wire. If the resistance shown on the LED screen of the meter falls between the resistance range for your motor, the stator is okay. If the reading falls above or below the designated range, swap out the stator.
Motorcycle and ATV stator test
1 Access the stator. Accessing the stator on your motorcycle or ATV may require you to use a wrench or screwdriver to remove any trim or plating first. If this is the case, do this.
2 Motorcycle and ATV stator typically have five stator connectors. All of these connectors need to be tested for continuity.
3 Unplug the motorcycle or ATV alternator wiring harness by hand and then turn the multimeter to the continuity test mode.
4 Place the meter’s positive test lead to each stator connection and place the negative meter to a piece of ground metal on the frame. If any of the stator connections show continuity, the stator is bad.
