The stator got a little black on it from the rectifier burning. I dont think stator is hurt though. <br />Thank You for your help.

I think I know whats happening, I had my motor battery go dead out on the lake and then hook it up to my trolling motor batteries hooking into 24volts I would have to think this is my problem.
