Starting problems problem starting,as if battery power is low, it has new battery and reconditioned stator new plugs, just turns over and over eventualy starts then sum times just drains the power

    yes battery was charged fully and didnt have a dramer stating until stator was reconed

  • andrew webber Jun 03, 2009

    yes battery ends up flat, i can eventualy smell the fuel, the problem is only when its cold,last night i noticed when indicators are being used the head light flickered

    Was the new battery ever put on a charger? So many shops just fill with acid and hand them over without telling the customer to make sure you charge them the first time as filling it will only give you about a 50% charge and for some rectifiers that just isn't enough to ever get that battery fully charged. Take the battery out put it on a charger overnight, maybe just that easy!

When you say, "just drains the power", do you mean it kills the battery trying to start? when its turning over and over and not starting, did you take the plugs out and see if they are wet with fuel?

I'm pretty sure my stator is bad but when I turn my Yamaha Tt-R 225 over it just clicks but when I jump it of it wants to start but only a whining sound could I be wrong period?

stator is only for charging. if you charge battery up and try, it should be fine. stator will just cause excessive battery drain. same as alternator in a car. if you run it and unhook battery... it dies, the stator is bad. keeps running, stator is good.
the clicking is low battery sound, but need more info on whine

Why does my tractor keep draining the battery?

get a DC volt meter and check voltage at battery post before starting tractor
start tractor and again check voltage at battery posts . you should be getting between 13 & 15 volts,if not charging circuit is not working.
Its either a voltage regulator problem or a stator (located under flywheel) problem.
Stator produces AC voltage to regulator so you need to set your volt meter to AC ,most stators have a plug exposed insert red and black lead of meter into each side of plug, you should read around 23 to 26 volts AC if no reading stator is opened (bad). The PTO clutch requires a full 12 volts to stay engaged. you could have a bad battery bad cell .have seen new batteries be bad.

Spark plugs

If the lights won't even come on, the spark plugs are not the cause of that problem.

Make sure the battery cables at the opposite ends from the battery are connected tight and corrosion free.
Check that all the fuses are good.
For some reason the power isn't getting from the battery (if it is in fact charged up) to the electrical circuit (blown fuse, loose/disconnected wire, etc).

My Aprilia Mojito 125 doesen't star. Ive had it to repair shop several times, they says battery is to small for the bike. Can I have the battery moved from glove box to under the seat and increase the ...

I am not familiar with the Mojito's qwarks. Sometimes the charging systems are underpowered and can't keep the batteries charged on some scooters. Check with Aprilia to see if there is a recall or service bulletin on the bike. If the bike started and ran fine when it was new, and you have the factory sized battery in the bike, then the problem is not with the battery size. If the battery is more than 2 years old, replace it. It may show as good on a volt meter, but it may not have sufficient amps to crank the engine, or be able to hold the charge. The dealer should also check the charging system to make sure it is charging at least 12.8V at idle, and well over 13V (volts) when the engine is revved up. Most scooters charge at 13.5V-14.7V when revved up. It shouldn't exceed 15V. An Aprilia dealer should have the factory specifications for the charging system and can test this in just 5 minutes. If you are having a charging issue, then it is most likely your voltage regulator/rectifier or your stator. The stator is what produces the electricity when the engine is running, the regulator is what smooths the power out and sends it to your battery at the proper voltage. Regulators fail more frequently than stators and are cheaper to repair. Other possible problems are the starter relay or the starter itself may be worn out and drawing too much power. Again, if the bike started fine when it was new, and you have the factory sized battery, then don't change the battery size. You may only be treating the symptom and not the problem. And applying more power can simply cause more damage. If the problem is that you just have to run the starter for a long time before it starts, and you just run the battery down, then it may have nothing to do with your starting system at all. It may be a low compression issue, dirty carb/fuel injection problem, old spark plug, etc. Hope this helps. www.solanocycle.com

New batterie new negative wire new posative wire but wont charge . are there any reiays or fuses causing this problem?

You need to check the output of your alternator. You'll need a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) to check the outputs.

First connect the meter across your battery. Red meter lead to the positive terminal, black meter lead to the negative or a good ground. Put the function selector of your meter in DC VOLTS, 20 VOLT RANGE. Start the engine and bring it to a high idle, 2000 RPM. Your meter should read 14.5 to 15.0 volts. Turn all lights on and make sure the voltage stays the same.

If your meter reads low in this test, you need to check the output of the stator. On the lower left front of the engine, you'll see a plug where the voltage regulator plugs into the engine case. Unplug this plug and look into the part that is in the engine case. You'll see two metal contacts. These are what you're going to put your meter leads to in this test. Since the voltage is now AC volts, it makes no difference which lead goes to which contact. Put your meter's function selector in AC VOLTS, 50 VOLT RANGE. Start the engine and bring it to a high idle. Insert the meter leads into the contacts. The meter should read at least 30 volts AC voltage here.

If the alternator stator test fails, you need a new stator. If it passes the test but the voltage to the battery is low, you need a new regulator.

If both pass the test, you need to evaluate the current draw of any extra lights or other equipment that you may have put on the bike. If your equipment is drawing more current than the alternator is capable of producing, a slow drawdown of the battery is the results.

Good Luck

My son's xj650 just cut out on him today on the highway. Bike has 24000 kms. with a new battery. I tried "jumping" the solenoid with the start button depressed and the bike tried turning over but no luck...

This sounds like a charging problem first charge the battery get a volt ohm meter set it to DC,and red to positive black to negative on the battery start the engine and rev the engine watch the meter voltage should rise 13.5 if not check the stator for shorted to ground set the volt oh meter to ohms disconnect the plug from the stator and ground the tester lead to the engine and check each of the 3 wires coming from the stator if the is continuity the stator is bad, if your unsure on how to go about it, it should not cost much to take it to a mechanic to do the test for you.
check stator and regulator/rectifier

I have a 2000 fatboy stopped to get gas battery was dead charge battery went bought new battery after 1 hr of riding battery was dead again is this a voltage regulator or a stator problem how do I check

Hi,
To check if you got a charging fault, get a multimeter and switch to voltage put across the battery. You should be getting at least 13.4 volts.
Turn lights on and this should fluctuate upwards. If your getting anything lower then what I stated you have a charging problem. Rectifiers and regulators can only really be tested of the bike with a specific tester. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.

Battery wont hold a charge. put new battery same problem. when i recharge it battery is drained after roughly 5 starts.

stator needs to be replaced, works just like a alternator, if you ever banged it or dropped the bike then you have a busted stator. easy to fix but might run you about $70-$90 bucks for a new one.

try over riding the starter relay on the fender ,it has one there right?. dont go to a mechanic yet. the engine aint seized. if it doesnt have this relay then i would get the alternator tested. if you want to test it yourself it can be costly for the right equip. autozone usually tests for free. i dont know were you live so if theres not an autozone. let me know if you cant get it tested.
