Stator Wires sheared

[BB63QM]

My Merc 850 (70’s) had a wire shear off at the stator and the other stator wire or nearly off and old. The wires come from the rectifier and disappear into a grommet buried in black stuff at the alternator stator under the flywheel.

The new stator wires (yellow with stripe) from the rectifier are MUCH narrower gauge and have a slot connector (as of supposed to be screwed in).

Is there a fix short of replacement?

On the distributor, I had a similar situation, which I remedied by marrying the severed wire and based with a brass nail and finished with solder.

Any advice and/or is there a better way to deal with the issue?

The stator in my backup motor isn’t much better. Not sheared off, but corroded and brittle.

Replacement stators from CDI don’t have all the black shielding…could I cut into that to get a better bite in the wires for a tap?

Cheapest replacement is $100…most $200-400…just looking to save a few bucks if I can…unless I shouldn’t.

Typical 0f a 70s Merc. Best way to fix that is to replace it.

I had the same thing on my '85 Merc 50. I just paid the price and bought a new stator from CDI. Worth it.
