Electrical Shock while riding

[Mdavies_02]

So all you salt water riders will laugh at this, but I am so far inland not to many of us have experience with this.

Picked up some Novi 48's for my CPT836 in my SF Badass and I must have clipped a wire while the engine was out. The two green wires from the Ebox to Stator were exposed so we taped those up at the beach, but the shock continued. Would you recommend grabbing Deutsch electrical connectors, or replacing the stator completely? Do you think it was something else?

What are some common areas to examine when getting shocked through the finger throttle (Mostly on start up, intermittent while riding)


Again, I realize this has been covered, but being a fresh water guy I never payed to close of attention... And the search feature didn't help to much

Thanks in advance

First question, does it seem like it's a 12VDC shock, a 250-375 VAC shock or a 25,000 Volt shock from the plug wires?

Mine was a chaffed battery cable in behind the ebox but really it could be any wire. All you can do is check everything.

Only time I had this happen, the ground for my bilge pumps came loose while riding and was laying in the bilge. Kept getting shocked through the throttle.

If i had to guess i would say 12VDC as it's not bad enough where you have to pull your hand away like when you get zapped by a coil.

Once I injured the ground wire from the stator right at the ebox grommet and I was getting shocked on the throttle lever. Hooked up a ground wire from ebox bolt to flywheel front cover bolt and solved it.

I should mention I re grounded the engine from the flywheel bolt to negative terminal. It's definitely a high voltage shock.

I plan on pulling my flywheel and checking internal stator wires tomorrow

Trying to fix this to tune the ski for next weekend. Thanks for all the responses

Sounds crazy but a good friend of mine had a similar problem getting shocked around when he hit the green button to start the engine. Ended up being the stator plate came loose and flywheel was hitting the stator coils when the starter torqued the engine and sent a shock through everything metal grounded to the engine. Just food for thought. Honestly wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see/ find the problem myself.

salt water behind the fly wheel cover?

It was a lose stator plate. Took out my flywheel but I am happy to have found this little gremlin. Thanks for all the advice gents. Not even 24 hours after asking for help did the answer come in. This is why I support this site.

You are lucky it didnt kill your stator.

I guess shock treatment did get the answer you where looking for

Picked up a stock flywheel yesterday and took it out. She ran fine. Stator back plate rubbed in two sections but no damage to components themselves

Sounds like the shock was a blessing in disguise then. Alerted you to trouble before possibly ruining stator, fly, and cases.

Never thought getting a shocker would be a good thing. Learn something new everyday.
