[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 53628, member: 54"] I have read a few horror stories of defective stators taking out the rotor and locking the engine. What I know about aftermarket stators and coils in general to help avoid any "gotchya's" When you get the stator, examine it very closely for any defects. Compare it with the old one. 1. Look for any areas that don't have shelac on the copper windings. 2. The metal parts in the picture below (I don't know what they're called) must be tight and straight. 3. Measure diameter and height and compare against the old. [ATTACH type="full" alt="esg060_1.jpg"]3657._xfImport[/ATTACH] 4. Check continuity between all 3 yellow wires. You should get tone. 5. Check continuity on each yellow to the center ground plane. There should be NO tone. The whole unit should look like it's been QC'd well. If there is any question, call the company and ask them about it. Better to be sure than have to do it again. 6. Check the rotor for any loose rivets. I have a couple good spares if you need one. 7. I'd put new lock washers and blue loctite on the stator screws so they can't back out. 8. When installing the rotor, clean the bolt threads both inside and out with brake cleaner then use blue loctite. [/QUOTE]
