I agree with post 2
It takes three 4" long x 8mm by 1.25 thread pitch metric bolts screwed into flywheel only 1/4" (or you'll be into the coils behind it) to pull the flywheel useing an automotive three slotted harmonic balancer puller.
Changed MPEM because the 5amp was blowing?
The chain of power and ground for a pre-'97 720 has the ground going from the battery to the block then through the ground wire on the mag housing to the electrical box, so you cannot unplug the mag connector without losing your ground in the electrical box, but you can make a jumper wire to bypass the motor completely by running it from the neg terminal on the battery directly to the stud in the Ebox that has all of the black wires attached to it. Then, you can disconnect the mag plug. If that stops the fuse from blowing, you need a new stator.
Be care not to enlarge the connector pin holes with an ohmmeter probe when checking the Stator ignition pulse. Bills86e
