How do I test this stator?
I dont have a 'peak voltage adapter' (whatever that is), that the manual requires.
But I have diagnosed a bad stator on my Honda Shadow and know that there are 3 wires that come out of it that should be around 40 AC volts. But since it dont run, I know there are continuity tests that need to be tested, along with some ground tests.
Tired of looking at this thing I've spent a ton of $$$ on and not being able to ride it. But since I've already misdiagnosed the coil, I dont want to make another $270 mistake.

Pfffttt plugs, who needs em
From all the threads I've been through last few years on here the CDI or stator is rarely at fault, so triple check everything else before you spend,
Including all spades for crud!
Clean your carb again
Do the quad just don't spend on it!
It ain't a raptor or a Tri-z!
Once upon a long time ago I bought a trx125, my memory is blank from then forward, she just told me we have 5 kids

I would check the tire pressure. Then I would get some Canadian vice grips and order some sikk graphics. Once that’s done I would start at the top and clean every ground contact point until the very last one. Then once I absolutely ruled it out I would go to the spark plug cap. After the cap to the stator assembly. Then so on and so forth. Here is a peak voltage adapter.

You can probably find them at any auto parts store. Amazon is where I buy my limited use crapola.

I use this to help me find stuff. It’s like a library except I don’t have to ride my bike there or ask my mom for a ride. https://www.google.com/

I got the Peak Voltage Adapter, but I'm still not getting anywhere. I'm unable to see what the peak voltage is while I'm kicking it over, as it keeps dropping.
I have read that some meters have a min/max type of function where it will hold; not sure if mine does. I got the one below. Anyone know if i can do that with it? If not, how do I determine peak voltage?
