need phaser help

[aog8486]

can you tell me how to check a voltage reg.or the stator,I have no spark, I checked to see if I have power coming out of the stator and it lights up my test light but nothing coming out of the reg, head light does light up when you pull it over

The lights and regulator are in a different circuit than the ignition, the only common path is the ground.

There are differences in the ignition system on different year sleds. I assume your sled is a 1998 or earlier. On the early Phazers there is a black and white wire from the CDI box, on later models it was yellow and black, I do not know what year it changed. Unplug that wire and check for spark. If it has spark, the ign. switch, kill switch or TORS switch is at fault. The TORS switch is located on the carb assembly. To check it, unplug the switch and plug the wires from the harness together and check for spark.
Try that first.

If you have an owners manual, there is a wiring diagram in the back.
It would be good for you to have a service manual from Yamaha.

If you are referring to the small, square plastic box behind the engine, it is not the regulator, it is the CDI unit. Do the checks above ^^^^^^.
