    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yes I've read the stator papers but I want to make sure..

ARGH! so my shiny new electrosport stator came today and i couldn't wait to instal it, all went well, everything bolted neatly into place, changed the oil filter, filled it up and pushed start. first of all it fired up on the first turn over which i was really impressed with. and then I clamped on a voltmeter and it was reading 14.81 across the terminals, I was pumped hopped on and rode it in the beautiful mountain roads of bonny doon up in santa cruz where i now live.

BUUUT when i got back I pulled off the seat and checked again and it wasn't charging again! just slowly discharging. What gives!?! I got 0.7, 0.7, and 0.8 ohms between the output wires. the AC voltages were strange though 35V at idle but never climbed out of the 50's at 5k rpm any suggestions. also stator output vs ground = infinite ohms and all connections from the output wires are soldered together and electrical taped.

am I looking at replacing the r/r to or is there something mischievous going on..

on a side note I have a weird theory. how strong are the magnets supposed to be around the stator? because i put a pair of pliers against them and was not impressed. I ask because the PO laid it down on the stator side (gently in a parking garage, he didn't even get a bruise) but there are scratches on the stator cover. I was wondering if the impact, though fairly slight could have partially demagnatized the permanent magnets and then when the engine heats up it causes the curie effect and they loose their magnetism and poof no more charge, is this a bogus theory?
