Here at RMSTATOR, our goal is to get our customers running again, sometimes that includes long conversations over the phone and email troubleshooting their problems. Often our customers are only equipped with a common multimeter, this is a good start but useless as you cannot read peak voltage output. Stators may fail in various ways, the most common is the windings shorting to the ground either directly or to the coil that interfaces with the ignition. But there are other ways. Coils can be short internally which gives good resistance but essentially fewer windings giving low voltage output.

The other way a good stator cannot provide power is if the rotating magnets in the flywheel are dead. We finally have come out with the tool that you can simply attach to your multimeter and will allow you to test peak voltage with your common multimeter.
