Stators 101

[bamaguy]

Just in the ordeal of trying to get a stator for this scooter. I can give some good advice to anyone ordering one. First you need to take your old one out and take pictures of it. Need to know type of plugs, number of wires, number of coils. OD of the stator, width, size hole and spacing of the bolts holes on the inside. The secondary wire that bolts inside the cover will have two bolt holes also. You need to measure them and the hole spacing. I am speaking of one on a 250 Linhai clone (Roketa)
I got the stator today and the secondary wires that go inside the cover had wrong hole spacing.
This seems to be par for the course when ordering parts for these things.
Any info you can give to the parts place will help them send you the right part. Some request a picture.

This is the old stator . Can someone tell me if the lump of whatever on the outside of this means it has got hot? The new one does not have it.

Here are examples of how the right stator can be wrong.

Some of you may never have problems but if you do maybe this will help when you order parts. The stator was ordered from Roketa parts Online in Illinois Friday. It came in the mail today. Shame it was the wrong part.
Still on the phone with Motomaxpro trying to get a piston and gasket set that I ordered the same time.

I'm not an expert on this, but I'd not argue against the it got hot idea.

what is real odd is you can see the "wear" pattern on all the others expcept the one that has the blob on it
there are some scuff marks but not like there should if that was a melt glob
something got warm and melted onto it
