Have a 80 model 75 HP Stinger Has a problem of not firing on top and middle cylinders. I removed the flywheel to get a visual check on the condition of the stator (cracks, etc.). It appears that the flywheel has been rubbing against the stator assembly in one area. Has gotten hot enough to actually melt just a slight bit of the protective plastic around that area. Can this somehow be causing my problem? Can the stator assembly not be aligned properly? What does the magnetic ring inside the stator assembly do? Looks to me it may bee a timing advance device. This is SSOOOOOOOO much different than a 3208 Cat or Detroit Deisel, Ha Ha, but I'm slowly learning! Thanks for any help you can provide, Chuck B. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
