My stator is toast, so I'm looking to upgrade while I have the opportunity. 2009 50cc TGB Key West 2T originally with 4 pole stator. I'm hooking up a lot of lights/other appliances, so I need some serious output. I know that a stator upgrade can also require a new magneto/rectifier/possibly CDI.
Now, I'm very committed to figuring this out. There's plenty I don't know, but I learn very quickly. Manual gives very little info, but here's what I can tell you.
- The only info my manual gives about the current rectifier is "AC 13V,DC14.5V". I assume this means "AC 13V in and DC 14.5V out".
- Current stator has 3 wires: 1 to CDI (distinct from pickup coil wire), 1 to rectifier, and 1 to rectifier/auto choke/lights.
- Rectifier has 4 wires: those 2 from the stator, 1 to the battery/ignition switch, and 1 ground.
- CDI has 5 wires: that 1 from the stator, 1 from the pickup, 1 from the ignition switch, 1 to the ignition coil, and 1 ground.
- Ignition switch has 4 wires: that 1 to the CDI, that 1 from the rectifier, 1 to turn relay/horn/fuel gauge, and 1 ground.
Questions:
1. Does a 4-pole stator have fewer phases than an 11-pole? If so, will a matching magneto and a 3-phase rectifier solve this discrepancy?
2. What's it take to incorporate a full-wave rectifier into this scheme?
3. A 7-wire rectifier should be easy to incorporate into my existing wiring scheme, no?
If I seem clueless to you, don't give up on me. Condescend to me, but at least leave an explanation before you go. Thank you!
