Yes. That's how people get information and learn. Very few problems are unique and these threads help many.

That would be ok with me . Let me tell you where I am at in my check. Ac voltage is 21.3 20.5 and 20.5 . Also I read contenuty between each leg. The bad news I also read each leg to ground. Your thoughts please!

Pretty easy check since you have to disconnect the 3 wires coming from stator to regulator. Make sure thoes 3 wires are not going to frame ground with you ohm meter. The check all three combinations for ohm resistance. If that is OK, the finial check would be running with them checked all three combinations for equal AC out put.
If the stator is OK, I am with you on the regulator. Make sure that battery is OK and has no shorts. Something took that regulator out but it could have worn out also.

All base reading are at 2000rpm. Voltage should be apx 32-46 volts AC (16-23 per 1000 rpm) Your test sounds normal.
0.1-0.2 ohm resistance across leads.
Sounds like regulator to me. From your charged battery reading, sounds like battery is also bad. Could have a shorted cell. I sure would carry it in somewhere that has a good tester and check that battery before using it with a new regulator...

Well I had battery test it didn't show any issue other than cca were too high. Talked to tech and told him of our conversations, he was in agreement. I have decided to change stator good or bad as I have discovered oil leaking past rubber grommet on wires from stator. Thanks Ripsaw!

I assume you were replacing the regulator. Doubt from what you checked on stator, it has a problem. Little cleaning with brake cleaner and some RTV black worked in under the edges of grommt will fix it. That stator is a big job. Takes heavy duty tools for the comp and red loctite, outer cover is difficult to get sealed , bolts are easly striped and broken and the stator screws are red loctite.
You better be above average garage mechanic for it.
Since it's leaking, make sure the vent on transmission is open with no mud dobbers. That's what vents primary.

Yes replacing regulator also. Shop said they would only charge 180.00 labor . I don't think I can beat that deal . They are a reputable shop I have used before.

Also on the 07 the rotor will not clear the primary casting.
$180 may not be bad, if it comes with warranty and peace of mind.

Do not understand the cca being too high and a fully charged battery only reading 12.4 volts. That is only about 65% charged and means a shorted cell to me. However, a good tester would have shown that. If you can find a good tester. My local AutoZone's is garbage and after testing one for me, the O'Riley man said his was garbage also and it was new.
