But now I am wondering, can a mag have a fault condition that burns up a stator coil?- I doubt it, but it could be costly to replace the stator coil and fry it.- From the look s of the 4 mag charging coils, they must have a significantly thinner wire, and allot more turns (230 ohms worth) than the regulator/battery charging coils, so they would be more susceptible to failure.=0A=0AThe Quicksilver o wner that I got the stator flywheel puller from, said he went through the s ame problem and replaced a stator coil on his Rotax 503.=0A=0AI plan on cal ling LEAF and talking to a tech, but any other thoughts from the Pulsar gro up out there is much appreciated.=0A=0AGotta get this Pulsar safely flying for the Pulsar convention.=0A=0ABest regards,=0A=0ARonko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pulsar-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pulsar-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pulsar-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pulsar-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
