Hello everyone;
I purchased a 1984 mercury I6, the owner stated it up and allow it to run a while and it sounded pretty good. The engine was not misfiring or stumbling while running. Once I got the engine home and setup on my engine stand. I decided to remove the cowling and check the routing and condition of all the wiring. I notice there was two yellow wires coming from the stator and connecting to the rectifier, those two wires was deteriorated and falling apart. Now, what does this mean? The engine started up and ran fine. The two yellow wire that come off the stator, can these wires be replaced or do I need to purchase a new stator?
