You could however turn it into a mobile EasyBake Oven.

I was thinking an electric heater might be nice until it warms up, but I don't need open flames fanning me with PVC fumes.

I need four plugs to run dual stators: Male and female 4-conductor connector that is identical to the the 6-pole, 8-pole and 11-pole stators and Male 3-conductor and 4-conductor going to high output regulator.

The regulator contacts are standard width spade lugs while the stator contacts are half width.

I finally have a local source for connectors although the set of three runs about $20. I bought extra sets if someone is interested in the 11-pole stator or needs to repair their existing harness. PM me if you need something.

If there is interest in an adapter harness, let me know...

Do you have a manufacturer and model number for the connections? If so, I can have my Purchasing Manager source them out for us.

The connectors are just as generic as the ones on the wiring harness with no markings. The connectors are already pre-crimped and pigtailed and come as set male/female set. This is local electronic hacker shop that always has off the wall type items. Sometimes they have odd lots other times it is something they can keep as regular stock. They were not sure about getting more, so I bought spares.

This store is only open banker hours, so I will not have a chance to get back there for two weeks. I can buy up the stock if there is interest. I should be able send anyone a m/f connector set for about $7.50 or $20 for three.

The wiring harness adapter I posted for the 11-pole stator and high output rectifier require two wires to be removed from the stock harness to reroute power to the rectifier instead of running directly off the stator. If you do not have a Yerf-Dog, the connectors will still be the same but these wires may be a different color.

pghruby, can you clear some things up?

What are the connectors for? The rectifier, stator, or buggy harness?

How much power are you getting compared to the 6 pole? Enough to hook up a set of 55 watt lights?

I have the male and female 4-pin connectors that are used on the stator to engine harness, 4-pin connectors that are used on the new and stock rectifiers to engine harness, and 3-pin connector that is used on the new rectifier for three-phase stator input.

The 11-pole stator has no problem running two 55-watt lights (the 8-pole is actually a better match for that). I am wiring up six switched 55w lights to a light bar on top of the roll bar. I should have everything together by Thursday and will snap pictures when I get them running.

6! WOW!

I thought the 8 pole was only good to run the 35 watt lights the way they should because the 6 pole wasn't enough.

Do you have an actual measurement of how much power this thing is putting out?

I do not have an ammeter that will measure the capacity of this stator, but I have been extrapolating power levels based on the number of windings and what has worked with the 8-pole stator (you can run two 75w lights or four 35w lights).

The lights I am adding have different beam patterns, so I will be leaving all six connected regardless of outcome. They will be wired in pairs through an environmentally sealed switch box.

So, you're only going to run them two at a time, right? So, using your numbers you should be able to run three (3) 55w lights at a time.

So the 11-pole is about a 150W / 12 V = 12.5 Amps.

I can't believe with all your stuff you don't have a meter that you can read the currrent with.

The only reason I bring up 55 watt lights are that's all I seen in driveing lights at the stores.

My lights suck and from what I have read here most stock lights do. Guess I'll get the 8 pole if that's all I need.

I wish I could find the review that said the 8 pole was only good for 35 watts. I thought it was the Buggy Depot guy but I could be wrong.
