Cirhere, you might try the "Outboard Engine Troubles & Questions" forum. This is the Nothing to do with boats forum! I would answer your question but I dont even know what a stator is, are you sure its not Starter?
http://outboardparts.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting3.htm a good troubleshooting link for you. Yes, in the future post the outboard questions on the outboard forum. A stator is not too tough to do. Even though you have a merc the procedure is very close.<br /><br />Bob
