Re: 86 XR2 150, quit running, stumped.
From the original wiring, swap just the stator wires from one box to the next. Red and red/w swap, blue and blue/w swap. Don't move any other wires.
If the bug moves, it's the stator
If it doesn't, it's something else, likely switchbox.
It sounds like you did that. The black/yellow is the kill circuit and the wires are connected together anyway, so it doesn't matter.
hope it helps

Yeah, I got in a blow b/c my dealer closes early today, and bought a switch box. Really needed the stator.
bummer. will have to go swap it out monday i suppose.
John, on several of the wires running from the stator to the switch boxes, the wire insulation has crumbled, showing exposed wires. I covered them up with electrical tape just for the time being. But Now that I need a stator they will be new now anyways. But my question is, Do you think that could have been the initial cause of the stator failure? This motor had the largest mousie nest in it i've ever seen when I first got it opened up. I've had to cover several wires that were mouse chewed to begin with. Good and bad at the same time that I have to replace them now i suppose.
What do I need to pull the flywheel? I have the neccesary tools to pull smaller flywheels, but not this reverse threaded wheel on the 150, do you know of any substitute for this part? As i would rather perform this work myself, than have a dealer do it. The only "plug" puller i've found was on amazon for around 30 bucks. But if i knew the thread size etc. I may be able to get something else to work?
P.S.
IF I was an outboard dealer, or any kind of powersport dealer at all, I think my days off would be tuesday, wednesday... not saturday, sunday... Seems to me you would get most of your business on those days anyway!!!
