    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Engine rattle, I don't know what it is.

Hi,

Do you have an impact driver for those stator screws? I usually put my stator screws in with a drop of red Lock-tite. Is that missing screw rattling around in your engine case somewhere? Or was it never re-installed? Replacing the screws is a great idea. That stator looks kind of toasty. Do I see melted insulation on the windings?


Thank you for your indulgence,

I was mistaken. My buddy took the cover off when I stepped in the house, and apparently the third screw was in the hole but wasn't threaded :eek:. That's scary, so glad it didn't bounce around in the case.

I know the screws are cross threaded because the stator is loose, but the screws are "tight".

I'll definitely get an impact driver.


:EDIT:


Also, to be honest, I don't know what a good "used" stator is supposed to look like, lol.

I have several covers that i know 100% have no thread damage..all from 77 and 78 750s. If you can verify that one will work I would gladly box one up and send it off.. free. Just want to lower the cluster level in all these boxes..PM me with what you find out and leave me the info as to where to send one. Oh and im have seen coils with the blacker winding insulation.Long as the stator is charging from all 3 legs dont worry about that.
