Go down to The Stator Papers for all you need to know, including about the best step-by-step diagnostic you could ever get.

thank you so much for giving this advice. sorry for the thread hijack but im having the same exact problem. I have a 83 300gs that has been sitting for about 4 months due to winter here. When I came to pick it up the starter cable was cut(intentionally) and i dont know why... maybe someone was hot wiring it. Anyways when I went to pick it up I knew it wasnt going to start because I figured the battery was going to be dead from sitting around. So I went to buy a new battery... after 30min of riding I turned it off and came back 15 minutes later. Thats when I saw that the battery was dead(brand new battery). Should I buy that regulator or just try and diagnose the problem. thanks in advance.
p.s. I have problems with what I would think be my clutch. because when i floor the gas at higher rpms, it revs up but doesnt move any faster. Any advice would be appreciated. You can pm if you want so the thread doesnt get cluttered.
