Battery Charged

[thgrahamjr]

What on a 4 stroke dirt bike engine keeps the battery charged?

Alternator

My chinabike doesnt have an alternator and it has a battery and it keeps it charged, sooooo

 

[ed1380]

it has a stator coil inside. its on one end of the crank

May not be what you call it, but that's what it is, never the less.

if that was true you would have solved the worlds engery problems

it charges from the stator could near the flywheel

Does someone have a pic of one? My kart have a shifter engine with auto trans and electric start but my battery dies after three starts.

It's usually inside where the flywheel is, so it wouldn't be apparent right off the bat, unless you opened it up.

Well, then I guess it's a good thing we don't have "engery" problems. :arf:

How can it be a shifter kart if it has an automatic transmission? That makes no sense. Auto clutch, i.e CT110 postie, I can understand, but an auto. trans. shifter kart?

 

[ed1380]

i had one remember. :toetap05: it was black w/ neonz

 

[modelengineer]

If it's automatic, it isn't a shifter. Automatics suck so much.

 

[ed1380]

i tend to somewhat. yes they do suck, but they still shift. but then again im talking about cars

 

[thgrahamjr]

Well I'm new to these engines so I assume it being a kickstart and having a transmission then it would have to shift gears or it would not need a tranny. Anyway, can a stator go bad? And what is the purpose of the generator?

Never a truer word spoken. COOKIE 4 U!

yes it can go bad. it charges the battery and runs the electronics when the engine is running
