    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Left side stator area squeal fixed

I pulled the stator cover to inspect things after a low rpm squeal appearred. It disappeared at higher revs, but did not sound reassurring. Thinking it might be my starter clutch, I had a look.

I noticed rub marks on the fly wheel. This was caused by the small piece of metal which retains the stator wires against the internal case wall. This piece has two right angle bends-one at the top where it is held by a short screw, and another at the bottom, which forms a foot to hold the wire down out of the way. This piece had become bent, allowing the edge of the flywheel to rub it. It had made a small groove, but no loose pieces . I straightened it up, gave it a quick file smooth, and after a bit of trial and error got it back in shape. An easy fix, but had I left it it would have become a bigger problem.

One more thing to inspect when tracking down uncomfortable noises.
