4. Note the circuit tester reading.
If the two readings (Steps 2 and 4) are identical, the
stator coil has continuity.
If the two circuit tester readings are different, there
is no stator continuity.
5. Check the neutral junction (arrow mark) for breaks.
If breaks are found, repair and repeat the stator coil
continuity test.
If there is still no stator coil continuity, the stator
must be replaced.

Stator Coil Ground Test
Use an circuit tester to test the stator coil for grounding.
1. Touch one circuit tester probe to the bear metal
surface of the stator.
2. Touch the other circuit tester probe to a bare stator
lead wire.
3. Note the circuit tester reading.
The circuit tester should show infinity (no needle
movement).
If the circuit tester shows a value other than infinity
(the needle moves), the stator is grounded and must
be replaced.
RECTIFIER
Rectifier (Positive Diode) Continuity Test
Use an circuit tester to test rectifier continuity.
1. Touch the circuit tester positive probe to the rectifier
holder.
2. Touch the circuit tester negative probe to each of the
diode terminals in turns.
