Snowmobile Stator

A snowmobile stator is an important part of the engine. It is an electrical component which is present inside the engine which generates the electrical current required for everything on your snowmobile. This include everything from charging the battery to running the lights, ignition, and any other electronics associated with the sled.

Working of Snowmobile Stator

Now, take the case of car engines, if you are familiar with one. In car engines, a motorcycle stator is actually similar to an alternator as it generate the electric power required for the vehicle. A stator consists of a core which is made from a number of thin sheet plates riveted together. This is in turn protected by a plastic, epoxy or powder coating. Around the arms of the stator core, thin high temperature insulated copper wire is wrapped. On the end of the crankshaft, a metal flywheel is mounted covering the stator. They contain an arrangement of strong magnets which line up with the stator poles.  Now, once the crankshaft turns, the flywheel will start spinning around the stator, thereby creating electrical current in the wire windings.

Symptoms of a bad Snowmobile Stator

A weak spark or no spark or an intermittent spark (misfiring) can be considered as the most obvious symptoms of a bad snowmobile stator. Hard starts and a poorly running engine are the other symptoms which can be a clue that your sled’s stator needs attention and is in the need to be rebuilt or replaced.
