Hey guys it’s been a long time since I’ve been on here but I’m having a strange issue on my old 900 XP that I can’t figure out. I had a voltage regulator basically melted itself down last weekend and after testing the stator I realized I wasn’t getting any voltage from it at all. I just replaced the stator and VR yesterday and I’m still not seeing any voltage on the new stator. The ohms test and everything in the manual is within spec but no voltage. Is there anything else to check? The magnets on the flywheel look fine and there’s no other visible issues.

Another problem I discovered or possibly caused is that when I put the stator cover back on, if I tighten the 13 bolts to spec the starter gear will not engage like it’s seized. If i back of the bolts a few turns it will spin free but still no voltage on the stator. The bearing in the stator cover turns freely so I’m confused as to what could be the problem.
