Check Stator Power Winding; Check Excitation Winding - Briggs & Stratton CE8070 Troubleshooting Manual

Test D: - Check Stator Power Winding
•• Step 1:
• Disconnect the 4-pin harness connector that contains
the yellow wires.
•• Step 2:
• On the male portion of the connector, locate the pins
that connect the blue and red wires (This harness
should be coming from the generator stator assembly
see figure 32).
•• Step 3:
• With your VOM set to ohms, measure the resistance
across the blue and red wires that come from the
stator (Figure 32).

• Compare reading with the resistance values in the
appendix.
- Within tolerance: Power winding is good
- Exceeds tolerance: Replace Stator
Test E: - Check Capacitor

Test F: - Check Excitation Winding
•• Step 1:
• Disconnect the harness connector that contains the
yellow wires.
•• Step 2:
• On the male portion of the connector, find the pins
that connect the two yellow wires (This harness should
be coming from the generator stator assembly see
figure 33).
•• Step 3:
• With your VOM set to ohms, measure the resistance
across the two yellow wires that come from the stator
(Figure 33).

- Within tolerance: Excitation winding is good
- Exceeds tolerance: Replace Stator
