[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I was having problems with my ds with the cdi frying and the battery.I replaced my rectifier,stock cdi installed,and a new odyssey battery.I put a voltage meter to it while it was running and it reads 12.69 volts(fluctuates)and when I shut it off the battery still reads the same.Do I need a stator?Is there something else it could be? I just want to know before i spend more money and it still has problems! Any help is appreciated.

THANKS

 

Did you ever do your grounds like i suggested.

 

Try taking a set of jumper cables and hooking them up to the ground on your batt and to your engine then test it.Ill bet it will charge then.

 

listen to az he has this area covered.

 

Sandman you are correct he does have it covered I ran a ground from my head bolt,moved my battery ground and ran another to the subframe.When I started it up I checked the voltage and 14.44 volts.I was amazed!AZSAND you are my DS GOD.I have no words to describe how much I appreciate this.

THANKS

 

The ground sytem on the ds is the weak point period...i can not express to people enough to maintain your grounds a lot of good parts have been destroyed or miss diagnosed due to bad grounds and i too appreciate YOU LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE ADVISE WORKED IT HELPS WHEN YOU GET FEED BACK.It aids in futher diagnosing over the internet.
