    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.

Stator Cover Gasket

I read BassCliff's stator replacement tutorial and did some searching but dont find anything on this detail. I am not replacing my stator, just taking off, powder-coating and putting back on my stator cover. I was hoping to get it back together without disconnecting any stator wires. The problem is there is no way to thread the wires thru the little portal in the gasket unless I'm looking at it wrong. In the picture, the area of the gasket where the wires pass thru has 2 gasket branches (I'm making up terms here.) The outer branch (pointed out by the ballpoint pen) would seem to not really have any oil against it. Kind of as if it's just acting as a spacer. Could I make a clean cut in that area to get the wire in there.

You could cut it there but I wouldn't. Just trace the stator wires back upstream and disconnect them proper like. You will likely find the connectors black and cooked so don't be shocked if the terminals will have to be replaced (yes, it never stops).
