2. Thoroughly clean the gear hub; then apply a drop of

green Loctite #620 to the bearing outer race and press

into the gear hub until even with the lower chamfer

radius.

INSPECTING STATOR COIL/
MAGNETO COVER ASSEMBLY

1. Inspect the stator coil for burned or discolored wiring,

broken or missing hold-down clips, or loose cap

screws.

2. Inspect the bearings in the magneto housing for dis-

coloration, roughness when rotated, and secure fit in

bearing bores.

REPLACING STATOR COIL/
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

1. Remove the three cap screws securing the stator coil,

two cap screws securing the crankshaft position sen-

sor, and two cap screws from the harness hold-down.

2. Lift the rubber grommet out of the housing; then

remove the stator coil/crankshaft position sensor.

Account for and note the position of the harness hold-

down under the crankshaft position sensor.

3. Install the new stator coil assembly and secure with

three cap screws using a drop of red Loctite #271 on

each. Tighten according to the chart.

4. Place the stator wire harness hold-down into position;

then install the crankshaft position sensor and secure

with two cap screws. Tighten securely.

5. Install the upper cable hold-down and secure with the

cap screws. Tighten securely.
