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?
