Seven wire stator???PLEASE HELP!!!

[needham0828]

I have a 1994 Mercury 40 hp 2 stroke 4 clyinder That I am replacing the stator on.I got the new stator from the local marina off of a parts motor that is identical to mine but the new stator has seven wires and mine has six. Where does the extra wire go ?????????????????? Please help if you can.

Re: Seven wire stator???PLEASE HELP!!!

Some stators ground through the mounting bolts while others require a separate ground.

It's quite possible that the extra wire just needs to be brought to engine ground. Can you post a picture and give a description of what color wires are coming from your stator?
