Kandi 150cc stator / rectifier test help
I bought a used GB150 go kart with issues. With new carb, it runs but has problems under load - bogging down above probably 15mph. I've done gas and air tests and all that seems fine. I recently did stator and rectifier tests but am having trouble interpreting the results. I cannot find an exact electrical diagram to my cart but have used the closest that I could find.
Stator test
Disconnected wiring, run up RPMs and tested Pickup wire at .15v. I've read target should be .3 - .5
testing Excitor wire. run up RPMs, and got 44v. Expected target base upon what I've read is 50v.
Adjusted reluctor to pickup gap closer - but no significant change.
Just guessing, but does that mean a bad stator?
Plugged all back in, tested wiring at rectifier running at higher RPMs.
Red wire tested at 13.5v DC. White wire (runs stator to choke & rectifier on mine) was 10v AC (not good I'm guessing and also why choke may not be working). Yellow wire (runs stator to rectifier) was 35 volts. Do these readings make since - I thought both white and yellow were supposed to put out just better than battery voltage.
Hoping someone can help
