    1 year old stator bad

    ok i put a new stator and rec about a year ago the stator is alredy bad agin wandering if theres something that can make them wear out faster seems like a stator should last longer than a year

    It should last longer. It may be some other problem? Did you check for voltage drop when you changed them last year?
    Low oil level ?
    Running hot/lean

      Did you clean all of the connections in the charging system when you put it in?

              Where did you get the stator from? Still under warranty? You could have just gotten a bad one. What voltage if any is it putting out?

                    They build a good product and give 1 year warrenty. Contact them. Maybe they will replace but you have something else going wrong.

                      Putting out 6-8 what?? The stator will put out volts AC, there is no DC end. The regulator/rectifier puts out DC volts. Before condemning the stator, go through the stator papers and see whats going on with your charging system.

                          I think people mean cleaning the entire wiring system. Do you have good grounds?
