Stator replacement tips?

[Barry63052]

Ok, as posted in earlier threads, the motor isn't charging the battery. Already replaced the rectifier, it was bad anyway. Now, Im going to tackle the stator! I have already purchased the new CDI stator (part # 173-2926K1). The instructions in the kit mention a heat gun to warm up the old brown epoxy. Other than that it "seems" fairly straight forward. I am going to make a nylon strap wrench to hold the flywheel. Anybody have any helpful tips or tricks? Or know the torque when putting the flywheel back on?

Well, I got it done, and I think it works!! It is charging, not much but its charging. Its only a 5 amp charge, so I kinda expected it to be slow. Tach works, and torqued to 103 ft lbs.

Put a voltmeter across the battery and run it at wot and see what it says.

Just got back from a trip across the lake. 13.3 volts at WOT, 4800 rpm and 17 mph. I would say that's working. Does this make me a boat mechanic now???

Yes, if you get an oem factory service manual. LOL

I've been thinking about that too. Where's the best place to get one? And I'm FAR from being a boat mechanic. This is my first boat. But I have learneda lot from this site. When it first started messing up, everybody said take it to the shop. But, I came on here, read a lot, remembered some, and fixed it myself. Thanks for everything.
