gy6 6pole stator not putting out enough voltage ?
 

i am currently working on a friends ruckus with gy6 engine on it.

i got the scooter started after re-doing previous wiring, as well as a new stator + cdi box.

the problem i have now is that it seems as though the 6 pole stator on the gy6 engine is not producing enough ac voltage.

im getting like 1.2 on one wire and about 1.8-1.9 on the other.

this is being checked with the engine idling, i havent taped up my multimeter and drove it around to see if the voltage goes up with RPM.

i have a multi meter set on "ac volt, 200" .... this is the proper setting to check the voltage output of the stator, right ??

should i swap out the 6 pole stator, flywheel and recitifier for an 11pole setup ???

for shits n giggles,
here is a video of the scooter

Yea thats way low. I would assume the wiring is messed up some where. Make sure there is a solid ground attached to the engine. I rocked a 6 pole for a while and it was just pointless to have anyway, the battery never stayed charged and you couldnt used the headlights for longer than 20 minutes before the battery was dead.

But anyway, there should be a green, yellow, and white coming from the stator (there are two others but those goto the cdi). The white is ran to the rectifier and auto choke on the carb.

Yellow is ac output. This wire should be in the 13v range.

first i must thank you for your response. its been weeks.. i also posted on total ruckus


i have the green from the stator hooked up to a good engine ground, as well as the rectifier. the yellow and white also go into the recifier

the blue/wte and red/blk coming out of stator go into the cdi box.

the AC voltage across the white wire and the yellow wire is 10.2 when im at wide open throttle, at idle its about 1.8 to 2.2 it moves with rpm.

the voltage at the red/blk (cdi box power) which comes out of the stator is roughly 50 AC volts with the engine running/ higher rpm

i took the stator back off of the engine last night, and from what i can see it looks like there are wires missing(winding wires) the winding looks different than the 2 other 6 pole stators i have here. (keep in mind i know nothing about the winding of the stator or how they are supposed to work)


i ran an 8 guage wire from batt neg terminal to a bolt on the cyl head of the engine.

Definitely convert to an 11 pole setup.

Re: gy6 6pole stator not putting out enough voltage ?
 

the 11pole setup seems to be the fix for these engines. i think this is what im going to end up doing.

just wanted to update this...


there was not a damn thing wrong with anything. the issue was that you cant check the output voltage straight off the stator, or out of the recitifer. the red wire needs to be hook to the battery, and wahh-lahhh correct charging voltage..
