1996 Polaris 500 Efi Indy
Hey all, I have a 1995 Indy Efi 500, I removed the engine from my sled and installed it in another chassis, same year same model, just nicer
Finally got the swap all complete and fired her up, ran real good for about 3 minutes and then I shut her down to check the coolant level and noticed smoke coming from the engine, it’s definitely coming from the stator but not sure why, all wires are plugged to right spot, every time the power is on from the battery you can hear it starting to fry! I have unplugged everything except for the plug to the stator, still doing it.
So how do I check the stator, does anyone know what the specs for it are and how to go about checking it for a direct short? Thanks for the help
