Charging problem

We're actually more excited than you are.

I don't know about that, but I do appreciate the interest and help!
I can still ride it and it's raining today, anyways.

We're actually more excited than you are.

Lol! I think we are!

 

[pizza_pablo]

Lol! I think we are!

OK...uncle!

Y'all probably are, about the bike.
Right now, I'm looking for wimmens on the internet.

I'm sure we also like the wimmens but we also get s little confused when we see a nice bike! Lol!

If you find a good sale, let me know.

If you find a good sale, let me know.

Only if there are plenty in stock.

OH! It's not porn.
Match.com. I'm lonely and looking for a date.

Well what the hell is wrong with us!? I'll bring the sandwiches, Scott's will get the beer and Gary will bring the popcorn.
You've found your perfect match! Lol!

Well, in that case, I'll cancel my match.com subscription!

Ya big tease!

Whelp, I swapped the Regulator with same results.
12.4 v at the battery, with the bike running.

I checked the new Rectifier, using this video and it is SAT.

If I wouldn't have been curious of the voltage exiting the SAE connector I found, I wouldn't have thought anything was wrong, since it starts every time.

Sounds like you'll need a stator if the VR is new...

Wait for Gary or Cliff to chime in, electrons ain't my strong point..

Maybe the stator is going bad and it's only a bit degraded. \_0_/

Before giving additional advice, please do this; take your meter out to your car and check the voltage, both running and not running.

2017 Subaru WRX
Not running = 12.4 v
Running = 14.3 v @ 1800 RPM, because it was cold.

OK, that is good info.

Your stator is fried. It either fails under load or it has a common ground with the R/R. Neither of those can be tested, but it is what the data suggests.

BTW, nice choice of cage-vehicle. I recently sold a BRZ (supercharged) and we still have 3 other Subaru's in the family.

The WRX is our ninth Subaru.
I test drove BRZ, FRS, Infinity Q50 and Genesis Couple.
The BRZ / FRS were fun, but too small for a daily. It would have been a much more difficult decision, had they had turbo or SC power. The WRX is just my size and style. We have many roundabouts. It's very fun!

Thanks for your help!
I think we determined that I should not attempt this repair at home, due to the likelyhood of cracking the case.
Is this correct?
