Does the Mojave stator have enough power to run (2) 55watt fog lights?
The weird thing here is the stock light works low and high beam but when I check for vdc I get nothing at the light socket when running I get no vdc. But, I can get ac voltage.
I tried it this way to see if it would work. Grounded the new lights to the frame. Hooked up a toggle switch. One wire from stock light low beam wire to new switch. Other wire from new switch to positive side of new lights. With my new switch off the original lights work fine. But when I turn the new light switch on the low beam on the original light goes out and the fog lights do not come on. The only conclusion I can come to is that the stator cannot put out 155watts(2-55w lights and stock 45watt bulb) and another 8 for tail light and 27 for the brake light.
Anybody have any ideas? I think I am going to have to get a stator from rickystator.com or take mine out and wind it myself.
Forgot to add, I get 6vdc at the rectifier when idling and 12vdc when revved up.
My shop manual is at the shop of course so if noone has the answer I guess I will have to run to the shop tomorrow to get it.
