The alternator outputs AC, not DC.  Did you switch your meter to AC?

With regards to the stator, are you following the FSM on testing procedures?  The yellow wires from the alternator, are isolated from Ground/Chassis.  They connect to one another, and to the Rectifier, which converts its AC output, to DC power.  Measure the resistance between the three yellow leads, to test for continuity between them:  they should have a low resistance between all of them, as they are all interconnected.  Cheers!
