I also found out that putting the plastic oil pump shaft on the trigger wheel nut before lowering the stator cover down into position doesn't work well. I knocked it off three times! So, maybe that's what happened to the previous person that was in this engine. Well, I heard it fall all three...

Yeah, when doing all this research I never came across that as a possibility...I had to discover it from a few reviews on Amazon; go figure.

I don't know how people are managing to put pieces of wood under the engine. I determined it was going to be an exercise in futility, so I put on my thinking cap and came up with this. You wrap a strap around the front of the engine and then tie the ends together. Make sure to go between the...

Well, another stupid problem solved... :mad: Had you not posted your rectifier recommendation, I would've used the buy-once-cry-once method on the $100 one. First, I picked a cheap one out on ebay. Then, I went and checked Amazon. I read some reviews that mentioned the red and green wires were...

Buttoned back up (and now the plastic oil pump shaft is no longer MIA...still can't believe that!). Tested the rectifier and the battery voltage only went down on rpm increase, so it's not functioning. Rechecked the 20amp fuse in the rear black box and it was blown again. The three yellow...

The RFI's use the black one that goes on the flywheel nut.

Whoever was in this before me couldn't bring themselves to loosen two bolts in order to properly run the stator wiring harness under the bracket. :eek: The trigger wheel likes to rub on the wires when the wiring harness isn't behind the bracket. :mad: This is pretty bad, but it's not even the...

I was testing the three yellow wires back where the rectifier plugs into them, not up at the stator cover. Yeah, I knew about the motor mount. It's unfortunate the bracket is part of the stator cover, but alas, that was the best place to put it.

Hi. Summary: 12v low on display...won't start in water...started on trailer then backed into water...kind of ran, but not to standard max rpms. Compression is fine at ~145. Okay, so, checked fuses in rear electrical box. One 20amp was okay, the other 20amp was blown, the third fuse was fine...

The tip on the standard is threaded on; the tip on the solid is, well, solid.
