Humm...


That connector is just the stator. The only way that could get enough current to smoke is if your rectifier/regulator has gone bad. Did your dad hook up the battery backwards... just for a second or two?? I'm not saying he did... I'm just looking for a clue.

Anyway... make sure the batteries are charged, and disconnect the red lead at the regulator, and try to start it.
