Stator wiring... replacing both wires

[briaineo]

Hi I have a question about the stator on a merc 402

The two wires that go into the stator, one of them is a little frayed it is working as it is supposed to but for peace of mind while out on the sea I would like to replace these.

Took the stator off seems like a sealed unit, can I replace the two wires that go into the unit?

thanks

yes u can but make sure u solder new wires and CONNECTORS WITH PROPER GAUGE WIRE and use plenty of liquid tape after repair to make sure its waterproof,,,john

Definitely don't want those to short against anything and blow anything

Hi

What I was wondering is that the unit seems to be sealed! Rubber all round the unit. The wire is craked near the edge, how is the stator opened?

Thanks

this is the part that seems to be sealed (not mine but nearly the same)

Re: Stator wiring... replacing both wires

due to heavy oxidation/corrosion in this case I would just insulate wires as best as possible,,wires r so bad don t try to solder new ones on unless u have a section of good clean copper,,insulate,,check resistance on wires AND stator circuit and then re-install and check for a/c voltage between 2 yellow wires,,when running,BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO RUN WITHOUT FLYWHEEL COVER ON,,,IT WILL RIP UR HANDS UP,,if a/c voltage is up to specs run it,,if not of course u need a new one

Their not meant to be opened , its a sealed unit.
