can somebody walk me through the procedure to check a stator for a 2000 srx. baby steps PLEASE. this electical stuff is a pain in the butt for me. thanks, ray
 

apologies to mrviper700

I cut and pasted from a previous post. Use a good digital meter.

ok, you got 5 wires coming out of the stator, 2 of them are in thier own plug, these 2 are the white/red, and the white/green, these are the pick up coil wires. The other plug has 3 white wires, this is the stator wires, now looking at the plug turn it, so its a upside down triangle, meaning the two besides each other are on top, you will have a single terminal below with lock tab slot pointing down, place your positive terminal of tester in single hole, and then move the ground terminal to one of the other 2 or check both, you should read .36-.44, after its warmed up, the reason your checking this is the stator can still work, youll have lights and all but have not enough power at higher rpm and dim the spark, thus losing engine power.

Put the meter on OHMS, low range.
 
I lost my stator on my viper last weekend. It was kind of funny that it ran fine for 20 miles, then started sputtering at high rpms and my guages started acting up. I unplugged the headlights and the sled ran fine the rest of the day. I replaced the stator last night and found a broken wire in the old one. I could see where it had been arcing across the break.
The new stator had an updated part number and looked to have larger diameter wires, so there must have been a problem on the early year vipers. It's just too bad that the new one cost neary $200.

You Daman Doug:)!!!!!!!

Must be nice to be smart.:)
 
Hey there guys. I was wondering what the resistance would be on a burnt stator. I found the wire grounding under the frame and now I have no spark. CDI is good, I tested it. I have 0.00 ohms on all three wires coming from the stator.
 
The resistance of the stator windings is usually very low and unless you have your meter set on lowest range the readings might confuse you. You could probably put your DC volt meter on the voltage regulator output when pulling it over and see the DC volts go to about 13 volts dc or so. I tried this on my SRX at the optional battery plug with the kill switch activated and the start switch on and got about 12-13 volts as I pulled it over. If the stator was bad or there was a short to ground somewhere in there you probably wouldnt see any DC volts being produced. I'm still learning so I could be wrong.
