My suggestion is the same as you got from rolmops on your other post for a parts diagram - Get the manual for your motor. If you cannot for whatever reason go to a library and check in the Reference Section.<br /><br />Also please do not use all caps - it is called shouting.

FYI, I had to replace the stator, coils, then the wiring harness before my problem was fixed. I had intermittent spark- mostly not.<br /><br />In retrospect I think that it was the harness.<br /><br />Runs great now. Finally
