Well, I got the stator on, everything installed and is running great. I used some unorthodox ways to get it through but everything is safe and secure and doing well.
First off, excellent post!! Secondly, I made the big mistake of losing my guide for the stator harness connector going through the V. Now I'm having to try to rethread a wire back through in order to connect it on the other side. Would it help if I disconnected the coolant hose on the right side for more room and visibility?
Again, excellent post!
