upgraded Honda 305 stator

Post by cphillips » Fri Nov 19, 2010 10:29 am

I recently found an upgraded honda 305 stator for sale on ebay. It was new and it said that it had a lot better output then the original but I can't remember the exact numbers, but anyway I can't find it now. Does anybody know where I can buy one or has anyone seen what I am talking about.

Doh, you beat me to it Dave. But yeah, Rick's is what I'm looking at as well.

Ya can improve the output by changing the rotor to the one with CB72 rather the one with CB72(L). ...........lm

Stupid question guys... I know what the stator is but have no clue what it does.
First one to answer wins my undying love and admiration.

It's like an alternator for a car. Makes the power for the light and to charge the battery.

Sascha,

The stator, or stationary part of our AC generator, consists of 3 pairs of coils and works on the principle that whenever a magnetic field moves in relation to a conductor, a current is induced in the conductor.

The conductor is simply a length of wire wound into a coil to increase its efficiency. When the magnetic fields around the magnets in the spinning rotor move past the coils, currents are induced in the coils. The amount of current is related to the proximity of the coil to the magnet, the strength of the magnetic field, how fast the field moves in relation to the coil and the resistance of the coil.

The principle works the other way too--whenever a current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is created around the conductor. This is how the starter solenoid works.
