I bought this motor as a rebuild project and therefore have had no chance of running it yet.<br />It had suffered the "overheating due to lugging death" which seems very common with these engines.<br /><br />I've been measuring the stator leads, both the ignition and the charging coils, this is what I found:<br />Ignition coils:<br />Orange-orange striped leads 397 Ohms <br />Brown-brown striped leads 397 Ohms<br />The original workshop manual says 480 +- 50 Ohms for both coils (or 480 +- 25 depending on where in the book you look 
)<br /><br />Charging coils (yellow-yellow striped) 1.3 Ohm, should be 1.4 acc to the book, so this coil seems fine.<br />The stator have some thin cracks in it and it seems that some black goo have been seeping out.<br />My concern is mainly the low Ohm readings for the ignition coils, should this stator be changed as a safety precaution?<br /><br />//Per
