Well all

The new engine has arrived. It did not include a CDI or anything but the wires coming off the Stator and the starter.

Here Is my question. My old stator connector had 3 yellow wires connecting to 3 other yellow wires

My new Stator has 3 wires coming off of it too (different connector) but the 3 wires are green yellow white.

I assume I cannot just willy nilly hook up these new wires to my old wires.

How should I proceed? There are also 2 other wires to hook up, and those colors dont match either.

Do I need to switch out Stators or should I try to find a new piece? and what to do about the other 2 wires?

Ok what do you want to do? Your old stator is a 3-phase stator with more power the 3 yellows all go to the R/R Then you have two other wires that go to the CDI with one being the power to the CDI and the other is the pickup wire that sends a signal to the CDI as to when to fire.

Bad news is the one you got is a single phase stator one yellow, one white, both with AC power and the other two are again the same this pickup or trigger wire and power to the CDI and are probably red/blue and blue/white? Then a gound wire = green.

So if you don't want to change stators out then you'll need to buy a 4-pin R/R and we'll do a little re-wiring also.

IMO I would change out the stators, again the 3-phase stator is stronger.

Thanks JR

Ok , I can swap out the stators. So then would I just connect any yellow to yellow? (there are three yellow wires coming off the stator)

Anything else I should know?

Okeeey Dokeey

Stators are swapped!

Nice to have the tools you need (flywheel puller)

So it looks like I can just plug the new engine (with old stator) right into all my old wires.

Keep all fingers crossed

Yep it should be a piece of cake now, plugs in just like the old one.
