got the new stator in last night. rust and crud everywhere.
don't have a torque wrench, so winging it temporarily to see if this solves the problem.
the electrex instructions seemed a little off to me in regard to the placement of the ground clip---it could only be mounted on the bottom of the stator, not at the top by the screw head per instructions. soldering the red/white wire was an sob, as my experience is shall we say---limited!! testing the new coil before install gave me confidence in the job though as ohms at what looked like 380-400(old one tested at 300)
and also got nice fat blue spark to plug.
noticed a wee bit of play in/out and side to side with the flywheel---very little and no oil leaking :think:
snugging down the flywheel was tough. do you use any kind of lubricant on the shaft so it slides on easier and gives an accurate torque reading?
finished up 10PM est, so too late to try out. might get the pie and tank and.....put on tonight for the final test.
will keep you posted and as usual, THANKS for all the help!
