so the ohms between each leg are less than 1. no shorts to ground. each leg is putting out 7vac at idle just above idle 15vac half throttle 25vac 50vac at high revs. sorry cant give exact rpms costumer removed speedo. but only getting 12vdc from reg rec at high rpm. seeing as the motor has to be removed to check stator do yall think its a reg rec?

 

also manual says 10 to 12vac on each leg at idle.

It looks to me like the reg isn't doing it's job properly. With those voltages at the stator it looks like it should be charging. I wouldn't worry too much about the voltage being slightly low at idle.

I'd check the DC output of the reg for any AC, which indicates one failed diode. Then I'd check the earth connection from the reg all the way to the battery, so reg to body, body to battery, and I'd check the charging wire going from the reg to the battery.

That's what being professional is all about, sometimes we have to make some pragmatic decision, such as this one you have here, and in these situations we need to be able to explain and justify our reasoning, decisions, actions and workmanship...  Which you can..   

Depending on the price, fitting a new regulator is probably the pragmatic thing to do, before pulling the bike to bits possibly for no reason. When we can't be certain, it's better to take the cheapest option first.

You did check for a bad earth on the reg did you ? And the wire from the reg to the battery ?  Either of those could cause the low voltage.. the earth being the most likely..

It's strange that the ohms are good on the stator and they are putting out voltage. I doubt the windings are the problem. A weak magnet from sitting unused perhaps, or metal filings bridging the magnets or bridging the gap between magnets and stator poles ?

I'd have expected both those ohm readings, from the black wire, and the reg's body, to be the same, and probably a little less than a half ohm..  Perhaps try a jumper earth from the black wire and/or reg's body to try it. The reg is regulating, but if it's not earthing properly it will think the voltage is higher than it is by some small amount.. 

If that doesn't make any difference then one last check would be to put a bulb onto the stator wires..  A bulb will work on AC and it will test there is some amperage coming out..

We're on 230 volts here in NZ and I've used a 100 watt household bulb before to test stators.. they glow fairly brightly.

If none of that works then it looks like pulling the motor and having a look is the next step..

From what I read in my manual, it would appear that there are specific tests to be taken IN ORDER to determine if a STATOR needs replacement.  Same thing with the Regulator.  I don't have it at hand, but I was deep into it diagnosing* a starter issue recently - all up and running now! 

If tests to date indicate a bad regulator, accept those results and see about returning the one customer purchased before pulling the engine (BTW there is only one motor on the 330 and it is the starter motor - the device that helps start the engine!).

Look in the SPECS section and the Troubleshooting section to see if you can find the diagnostic checklist. There HAS to be one 'cause CanAm has to be able to fix what they sell! By now (what 20 years on) they should have run into just about everything that might go awry and has.

At least three CANAM dealers however, told me "We don't work on ATVs that old."  One wanted $125 to 'diagnose' the problem when I asked "How much to R&R the starter?"  When I told him I wasn't looking for a second opinion, just a price for the R&R, he (Schronce Powersports, Taylorsville, NC) told me that there likely weren't any starters available!

Best you can hope for is a fellow mechanic with a link to a great repair manual and electrical system checklist.  I would also search Diagnosing electrical issues on" 2004 CAN AM Outlander 330" with two fingers crossed. Just possible that mechanic with the checklist did a video!

I found a list of repair manual files on this page - but have NOT d/l'd anything from it. http://files.brptuning.ru/Bombardier/Manuals/ATV/

Let us know what you discover!

Ha..  He asked for a remove and overhaul quote, and they started straight off suggesting they would fit a new starter.. if one was available. They didn't want to job.. 

 

And yeah Gooey, we're not so pedantic about motor/engine here in NZ..  Sorry about that.

On pages 198-200+ in the manual they detail the testing of the stator in situ - no need to pull the thing to test it!

I would assume that, if teh stator tests AOK, one need look elsewhere for the problem before tearing the 'motor' down to replace it.

Yep, I ran into that right after I bought a USED 330. Closest CanAM dealer wasted my time and money replacing batteries and such while charging for 'diagnoses and shop materials. I finally went online, found RM STATOR and bought the new version. Basically plug and play - $90US and not an issue since.  I found out much later that 1. there is a simple test a dealer should have known about as well as 2. there were 'factory bulletins on the issue some time before I brought my 330 into Schronce Powersports. So, I like RM Stator!

      Hello i have a 2005 Bombardier Outlander max xt 400, i recently split the case to fix a oil leak. while in there i took out the oil pump and i cant find the torque specs for the oil pump to go back in, i tend to over tighten everything so im trying to go be the torque specs so i dont break anything.
       
      Thank you in advance

      It starts and runs Ok but after a while the temp gage lights up and the fan fails to start.  Any suggestions on where to start looking would be helpful.  Thanks

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      My 2008 can-am Outlander 800r is having hard shifting issues. Does anyone have a fix for this ?
