Parked my machine last fall and got busy - just getting around to get it out again- Had an EPI clutch kit waiting for a belt change - when tearing it down to get at clutch I found the connector for 3 wires from stator melted and wire insulation starting to melt - I don't believe they actually shorted together as I was able to separate the connector and buggy seemed to be working ok when last parked. Also found oil had been spraying from loose rubber inlet hose at oil thermostat housing because clamp was loose - The melted connector had oil on/in it . I guess the connector melted because of the oil spray or because connector seemed to be laying on top of belt housing (metal part just behind plastic cover) and it gets hot there. Won't start now - seems to be getting fuel and saw spark on both sides - Seems to discharge when cranking - Does anyone know what the stator should show for resistance between any 2 legs? I'm measuring 0.7 ohms in any combination - Also checked the rectifier for forward bias and came up with 514 on all 3 legs on positive side and 117 on all 3 legs negative side . Got 0 on reverse bias check on both + and - ... Also tried another battery and fresh gas. Starting to suspect the crankshaft position sensor (It's wired into stator housing along with stator wires but showed no sign of melting) I have a manual and it shows the crankshaft position sensor should read between 110-150 kohm - mine reads 107 ohms . Can anybody verify the resistance I should be getting from this sensor? The service manual shows a 3 position connector for sensor and tells you to measure between 2 pins but mine is actually a 2 position connector. I have no codes lit on dash display. Machine will turn over and spit every now and then but no go. Any ideas anyone?
