2. Remove the flywheel by following the steps
described in Chapter 7: Ignition System.
3. Remove the baffle that covers the charger harness
using a 10mm wrench.
4. Remove the two screws that secures the stator with

See Figure 6.28.
5. Install the stator by following the above steps in
reverse order.
6. Test run the engine in a safe area and retest the

Rotor
Rotor failures are extremely rare. To check the rotor:
• Confirm that the magnets are firmly attached to the flywheel.
• Hold a screwdriver or a similar tool made of ferrous metal within a 1/4” of each magnet.
• If the tool is drawn to the magnet, the rotor is good.
