    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.

Ok,
Went out and got the good ole' impact driver, got the screws out....but I can't take the cover off (or put it back on for that matter) because of the wires that run into the cover from the starter comaprtment. Any ideas?
 
Pop off the cover over the starter, and the cover over the front sprocket. You should be able to get enough slack to take it off.
 
First order of business.

Get a bottle of BLUE Loctite or similar thread locker....colour is VERY important.


Disconnect the stator wires under the frame, near your side cover.

Remove starter cover (two bolts)

Get a piece or cardboard or a carton and punch a line of holes in it.

Pick a specific place on the stator cover and remove the bolts sequentially, putting each bolt in the cardboard, sequentially.

Loosen the wires from the stator, starting where the disconnection was done, then back to the starter.

Lift the wires from around the starter.

Pull the stator cover (pull it cleanly and NEVER, NEVER try to pry it off)

As it comes loose, feed the wire through the slot and it comes off very easily.

Presuming you are replacing the stator itself, clean it off well, paying special attention to the threads .

Reassemble with a drop or two of Loctite on each bolt and use an impact driver.
 
This might be a good time to replace the bolts with allen head, much easier to work with and gives it a differant look
