DVA is the peak reading test that you have done.

The first flywheel pic shows a single scratch across the top left magnets, as long as this is al OLD mark and there is NO contact with this stator then this stator is beginning to fail under peak load and it IS time to replace it.

I think it is an old mark...it appears that the fly wheel has been removed before as one of the fly wheel bolts is broken off in the crank. I will drill it out and retap, I heard this is the way to do it as opposed to using an extractor. New CDI stator is on the way..should be here next week.

I think you mean broken off in the flywheel, drill it and retap and DON'T even try an EZ OUT.

Re: 1996 Rude Power Pack questions

Broken bolts are NOT the nightmare that many perceive them to be.

A large application of patience, a very steady hand, near PERFECT centering of the center punch and drill, and LOTS of oil.

Depending on how/why the bolt broke determines the difficulty of the extraction.

Over-length thread bottoming in the hole and corroded in threads are the most tedious, requiring almost complete drilling out of the remains until a tap can be used to cut then last remnants and leaving the existing thread untouched and intact.

Over-torqued often can be turned out by hand with finesse using a small dental pick, mini-screw-driver, or snagged and turned out while drilling using a left hand twist drill bit.

Many 'extractor' sets on the market can be used with varying levels of success depending on the application. The greatest problem is most users drive the extractor into the drilled hole too hard, swelling the bolt, further tightening the threads. For this reason alone I do NOT recommend extractors for even semi-experienced beginners.

Re: 1996 Rude Power Pack questions

I drilled a 3/32 hole in the center then a 3/16 hole all the way through..the bolt went to the bottom of the threads while drilling.( used lots of oil) it was in 1 of the 2 out of 5 holes that do not go all the way through. after drilling the 3/16 hole I stuck a small flat head screw driver into the hole and it backed right out. i barely nicked the threads right at the bottom of the bolt, so I think I did a great job. I also have 5 NEW grade 8 bolts to replace the old ones, the manual stressed this point.
