Hello, I bought a new motor from OfferUp and I’m building a little hotrod motor out of it, but I don’t know how to tell what stator I have. How do I tell if it is and AC or DC unit?
Thanks!

Any stator will only be AC.
DC only occurs when the AC from the stator is rectified.

Like oakleyscoot says, magneto stators only output AC, both lighting coil and ignition coil.
The stator styles (AC or DC)refer to the available ignition power.
A AC style stator will have the odd ball paper covered pole/s that generate ac ignition power.
It includes a ac lighting coil output circuit and a ac ignition power coil circuit.
A DC style stator will not have the oddball poles for ignition power.
It is called a DC style by default since it doesn't offer ac ignition power and the machine would get ignition power from the dc battery. It only outputs ac lighting coil power.

Thanks Guys! I guess I should have known the Stator is AC. My issue, to be more clear, is trying to find the correct Regulator. I have not found one with the right plug to match the plug coming from my stator.
That said, I can probably change the plug to adapt it to the regulator I have, provided it is an AC or DC output unit?

Looks like the AC style, I will proceed as such😊 |

So here is the thing I can’t figure out. My stator has the oddball coil wrapped in tape, so for an AC type!?
However instead of having three yellow wires out of it, there is a white, yellow and green wire, as well as a plug that does not seem to fit the regulators I have found.
Any suggestions?

Got a pic of the stator and plug ?

I do, but don’t know how to attach them here

Sorry I got the diagrams mixed up. I have more trouble with this proboards system locking up and moving stuff than anything else.
Put your attention on the stators. Your description points to a single phase stator. Can't tell if it is half wave or full wave just by looking, you have to use a meter and check for continuity between ground and the yel and wht. If there is low resistance then you have half wave. If open then you have full wave.
Stator and rr have to match.
