Bench Testing: Stator

To test stator for an open circuit, use ohmmeter to check for continuity between each electrical lead on the stator. See Fig 1 .
Continuity should exist between all electrical leads. Replace stator if no continuity exists between any electrical leads. See OVERHAUL .
To test stator for a grounded circuit, use ohmmeter to check for continuity between each electrical lead on the stator and the outside of the stator. See Fig 1 . Replace stator if continuity exists between any electrical lead and the outside of the stator. See OVERHAUL .
