FYI for anyone doing this, do not buy a puller from harbour freight (USA) or princess auto (Canada) as they are cheap china metal and will bend the crap out of itself, buy a good brand puller!!!!. The threads for the recoil cup bolts are M8 if you need new ones or for flywheel puller purposes, and the flywheel nut size is 3/4. Blaine thank you for this tutorial. it has helped me alot! My stator was reading 50 ohms lower than it should at room temperature. It was pooched.
I've read a few things that can help here and there....first of all make sure the puller is on straight. You can hit the end of your main puller bolt when it is tight on it "shocking" it a bit and sometimes the flywheel will come off. Don't start hitting it too hard because the magnets inside the flywheel can come loose. Some guys said they used a beefier puller and that helped.
Sled won’t shut off condition: I have seen a few things cause this. It is usually a bad ground/broken ground wire. Sometimes it is moisture in the connector. I had to disconnect my TSS/Kill switch the day my kill switch got moisture in it and my sled wouldn’t shut off. You could have a cdi with an internal short. Also, a bad stator can cause a sled to not shut off.
Read through some other comments: Get it tight, hit it with a hammer. Use an impact wrench. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the flywheel just to get it off.
Came across this video. Is the lighting coil different feed from the hand and thumb warmers? My lights dont work and hand and thumb warmers do. Replaced regulator already. Thanks
Yep, some of them are on there very tight. Some guys can't get them off no matter what they do to them and just end up throwing heat at them, impact gun..ect...and ruin the flywheel just to get it off.
Any time an OEM stator reads higher than 450 and 45, they are bad. For low specs: Generally if they measure less than about 430 and 40 for an OEM stator they are bad. These readings are either when cold or at room temp. Ohms/resistance is based on length of wire so if it is supposed to measure 450 and it measures 479, then there is more resistance. You didn't add any wire to it so it must be more resistance due to the coil shorting out somewhere internally or externally and it is bad.
Someone just told me on Facebook get ahold of Blain dp , just bought 01 zr 600 efi runs great but no lights at all no gauges headlight tail light , where should I start wiring and grounds I'm guessing ?
i have a 1973 artic cat 340 cheetah. and i have spark on the right but not on the left..i changed condensers and points..theres a white wire that comes out the case and goes to my coil on the left side ..coil works but now power comming out to that white wire...thought about taking stator off and checking for a short some where.. i have been working on it for 22 days now and have about had it.. please help me figure it out soon ...the winter is almost over and i only got to ride it twice.. thanks shane
Blaine, i have a '98 pantera efi. I know you cant rewind this one so i bought one through RM Stator. My problem is this, i cant get the flywheel off. I have removed the crankshaft nut, flat, and lock washers. HELP!
Thanks for the tips on testing the stator, any tips on getting flywheel off. as of right now I have puller on it pretty tight got creeping oil on it, any other tips?
Depends on how good/quick a person is with tools. From start to finish I can swap one out in 30-40 minutes because I have done it so many times testing. Most people will take 1 to 2 hours to do it. Nothing hard about it...it just takes a little time to do it.
No problem. Of course some guys are running into stator bolts where the heads break off when trying to remove them, some guys have a flywheel that is much tighter on the shaft or a few guys have even found broken wires from a previous owner.
I have not been able to nail down a specific cause for anything in the electrical system causing stator failure. I've seen a cdi lose its ground wire, replace it and the stator is ok. I've seen the ground on the stator break, replace it and the stator was ok. I've seen ECU's/CDI's go bad and the stator was ok. I'm not saying that nothing in the electrical system will make the stator go bad but it seems at least from my experience that only stator failures make the stator go bad.
I have a zr 600 and sometimes it starts run for about 5 min than its dead would u think I need a new stator or could it be something else...it's fuel injected
what can you do if the little screws that hold the stator to the stator plate breaks the heads off them and the stator is still held in place by the remainder of the screw. On my sled they are phillip head screws . any response would be helpful thanks.
Some of the stators have timing lines on them that adjust the timing. Most of the time there are OEM witness marks where the fasteners were tightened down from the factory. Most people just refasten the stator to the factory position.
hello, I read online that my low speed should test at 360-540, and it read 262 (brown to green wire) Read that high speed should be about 36.8 to 55.2, My high speed tests right at 36.8. Is it time for a new stator due to the low speed only reading at 262? It's on a 1995 arctic cat 580 Efi. Thanks!
I've literally checked everything on my sled ( 96 zrt) and still not getting spark . I've replaced the cdi box my stator tested out at 402 / 422 on a 5° day , I ran a new ground to the chassis , new plugs and still no spark . I literally have no clue what could be the problem

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Kevin
Got a no spark situation. Starting with coil. Then moving to stator

The one he has if I'm not mistaken looks like the harbor freight one
Thank you for a great video I am getting ready to try and replace the stator on my yamaha snowmobile

Thanks for making this video - seems pretty straight forward. ;)
Just trying to help give people some info on how to do things themselves. :)

No problem...works towards a lot of 2 strokes ect...I state that at the very beginning.
Read through some other comments: Get it tight, hit it with a hammer. Use an impact wrench. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the flywheel just to get it off.
I am having problems gettting the flywheel lose i think its seized pretty good already striped one of the bold holes. wont even budge
When your having a hard time removing grab a small rubber mallet and tap it around the flywheel
Did you manage to get it off? I´ve been struggling with mine for like a whole day with no luck. Only small m6 holes in the flywheel on the ZL 500 :(.
Came across this video. Is the lighting coil different feed from the hand and thumb warmers? My lights dont work and hand and thumb warmers do. Replaced regulator already. Thanks
Does every snowmobile have a starter? If you just have pull start do.you need to install a starter for electric start?

Wow, glad I found all you're videos!!! Are you still re winding these? I have a 1998 arctic cat ZR 600 efi that I am assuming has a bad stator.
Yes, still rewinding: www.outdoor-electric.
@@BlaineDP thank you
Are there certain timing marks on the stator that i have to time the engine on my 1977 Arcti Cat Pantera ?
Some of the stators have timing lines on them that adjust the timing. Most of the time there are OEM witness marks where the fasteners were tightened down from the factory. Most people just refasten the stator to the factory position.
@@BlaineDP That is what i did . Hope shes running tomorrow / Thank you very much for your info .
hey blaine i have a 2000 mach z stator and i need it to be re wound can you do it and if so how much do you charge to rewind the stator?
Use "easy outs" and get the rest of that fastener out and replace it.
Hey Blaine. Can you msg me plz.
hello, I read online that my low speed should test at 360-540, and it read 262 (brown to green wire) Read that high speed should be about 36.8 to 55.2, My high speed tests right at 36.8. Is it time for a new stator due to the low speed only reading at 262? It's on a 1995 arctic cat 580 Efi. Thanks!
Yes it is bad. Specs are 438-447 & 43-45. You can contact me at blainepertler@yahoo.com
BlaineDP OK thanks!!
Hey sorry to bug ya how long does it take start to finish ? Thanks
How do I contact this guy
you can call, text or email. www.outdoor-electric.com
I've literally checked everything on my sled ( 96 zrt) and still not getting spark . I've replaced the cdi box my stator tested out at 402 / 422 on a 5° day , I ran a new ground to the chassis , new plugs and still no spark . I literally have no clue what could be the problem
very helpful, thanks
Mine sure didn't come off that easy. Bent the screws to hell and had to put all my weight on the wrench for multiple turns.
I have had questions about which bolts to use for the flywheel removal; Take one of the bolts that held your rewind cup on with you to the hardware and match the threads up.
ok thanks but I got it out already.
