Re: the stator is a alternator
Well....not exactly bm....<br /><br />The DC voltage leaving the rectifier is for battery charging.<br /><br />Most stators have extra coils for the ignition system called charge coils. These send an AC voltage to the power pack. The power pack has a rectifier built into it to change the AC to DC. This DC charge is then used to fire the ignition coils on each cylinder.
