KK and Robert,
Thank you both for your input. It helps to put fresh eyes on a problem when you are stuck.
Robert, according to your attached diagrams, it has to be the 2.7 or the 17amp stator. Stator termination does not match the 27A stator. The AC voltages output closely match the 17 amp stator with exception to when I turn on a load the AC voltage drops.
I have to ask... As I'm testing stator output, I am not disconnecting from load. I have skinned the insulation back enough to connect a couple of meter probes.As I understand, if it doesn't have a circuit to discharge, the potential (voltage) will continue to increase and finally cause the stator to fail with a small puff of smoke. Just wanted to be sure I was checking my values correctly?
Again thank you both for your help! It's much appreciated. I will update or for sure ask for more input and help :smile:
As I understand it the coils do nothing without a circuit.
Putting a meter across coil output would fry the meter, likely.
It's a very very long time since my induction theory days so
I would proceed as you have...in parralel to load.
What would be interesting is to read what an inline current
meter would read, matched to your voltages at speed.
I do not know if a CT type induction meter will read
these coil outputs and mean anything...could be all over the shop.
But an inline meter after the regulator may give an indication of
circulating currents.
Reading Robert's input (and what a good thing Honda has in
Robert's interest here - go you Good Thing, HONDA!) I reckon you
need some tacho readings right now, carnt pass you my tool unfortunately.
Honda's specs are at 4K RPM. If you are anywhere near that then your
figures are well low so current must be well up and therein points to a
"loaded down" circuit, relected by the hot diode.
You got a short somewhere...chaffed wire in a loom or bad component
to ground, like 3K ohms to frame instead of infinity. No warm solenoids
or light casing frames?
You got a good one there, brother :confused3:
