So I had to replace my old stator due to it stopped giving out current through the ignition wire, I used a salvaged stator from another identical engine that has been sitting around and it started right up, but then later that night I noticed the lights started off dim and went out completely within 30 seconds as it warmed up. This is an AC powered 150cc scoot by the way...
So I check the stator, the ignition wire (red/black) gives off about 80v as is starting. The charging and lighting wires give off no readings at all, no ac no dc and no resistance. Of course this stator seems to be bad as well but the engine runs, so I have just been using it as I wait for a brand new stator to come in the mail...
The weird thing is while revving and holding the brake the headlights and rear running light turns on full blast as it normally would be, then when I let go of the brake the lights go back to being completely off. Also while revving if I use the blinkers the lights will flash with the blinkers. I checked once again if there was any reading on the lighting or charging wires when I did this and nope, nothing...
So where the heck is the power coming from to power the running lights and headlights while using the brake or blinkers and why is it effected by the amount of rpms my engine is running... I've put my multimeter probes just about everywhere and connected to everything even the lighting and brake wires...
