I have an 03 midwest apollo 50cc scooter. Battery is not charging! I replaced the stator and still no charge ! Stator is a 5 wire 8 pole. Does the regulator control the charging? I was told it only controlled the lights?? Readings at stator plug in are yellow- 9.0. White- 8.4. Green- .43 all VDC. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! Thanks

 The regulator (R/R) also charges the battery, actually it's the main function. Start the scooter and read the voltage (DC) at the battery at idle and then rev it to 2 to 4k RPM and see what the readings are and let us know. JR

tvnacman.blogspot.com/stators generate ac voltage , rectifiers convert the ac to dc voltage . when you check a stator you need to unplug it from the harness (just the square plug not the bullet connectors) . John

The volts at the battery never increase. They started at 11.88 and continued to drop as it is running. As far as the plug from the stator it has 11.50 or so at the yellow wire(I think it was the yellow. And that's VDC. I'm pulling my hair out over this.

Test the white and yellow unhooked from everything and use the AC setting. It's AC voltage so if you're reading those wires on DC you'll get half the voltage because it's fully directional and your missing the other half of the waveform. DC voltage has no waveform, it's linear. AC is like the oscilloscope on Outer Limits, up and down as it shuttles back and forth.

Ok I tested the wires coming from the stator on the VAC setting.... White- 24.4. Yellow- 18.8 Green - 7.3.
