Bench Testing a motor???

[newbb]

How do you bench test a motor when it is out of the ski without any electronics hooked up? The starter and stator are bolted up tough!

No Electrical box.

Can I just hook a battery up to the starter?

No, electric box controls spark.

Yeah it will crank you can check compression like that. I've run motors like that with everything hooked up.

Im testing compression.

I tried hooking up two different batteries to the stator and got nothing???

I took the starter off and it is not frozen and spins by hand.

Does just hooking up a battery directly to a starter work??

 

[stanton]

why would you attach to the stator?? you do understand how circuits work right?

Look at his name...

Stator - the round plate with coils behind the flywheel
Starter - the small electric motor that spins your engine to start it.

Did you connect both RED and BLACK wires from the battery?

 

[BombThreat]

you need to connect a relay also, correct?

be nice guys
yes hooking the starter to the battery should spin it over
if your useing any of the elect box you need all of it or just jumpers to the starter
no the relay isnt needed if useing jumper cables

You need the flywheel and bendix in there too.

 

[vomitspot]

yes flywheel and bendix are needed
as well as front cover or the bendix will bind and damage the case bushing

No.
