SEV MOTOROLA Alternators: Overhaul: Testing: Stator

Check stator for short circuits. If one or more coils are burned, stator shows evidence of shorts. Connect 12 volt, 2-5 watt test lamp between stator plates and a terminal on stator. If lamp lights, isolation between stator winding and stator plates is defective and stator should be replaced.

CAUTION: Use only specified test lamp. DO NOT use 110 or 220 volt test lamp on this or any other alternator test procedure.
