 Currently have a sachs sx1 50cc 2t. What should the voltage be coming off the wires on the stator?. i put my fingers on them crank the engine and get a shock (works) i just wanted to test the voltage. should it be 12 volts ? any info would be appreciated |

14½ volts is necessary to charge a 12 volt battery. The stator is AC so it would also need to go through a rectifier to be DC. Have you stuck your finger into a house outlet lately?

LOLL... I did as a child.I got the bike on idle and connected the voltage meter to the battery and the voltage reading was 12.36 volts is that normal for a 2 stroke 50cc bike ? Also i noticed that when the bike was running the Resistor gets really hot is that normal?

OK, now rev the motor up to around 4K rpms and see if the voltage goes up with the meter on the battery.

I have very little knowledge of scooters but have worked on motorcycle stators. I'm guessing the resistor your referring to may be the regulator. It actually dumps excess voltage to ground. Usually the frame it's attached to. If it gets hot it's not grounding properly. Make sure all contact to the frame is clean for a clear path and heat dissipation. You should then get 13.5-14 volts with the motor reved up.

What are the wires coming off of the stator and I can give you voltages.
