I have a mercury 850 85 hp engine serial number 4540017 engine. the wires on the stator are totally kaput insulation crumbled and wires breaking. Where can I get a stator for this engine. I believe it is a 1977 engine. it has an electronic switch box. Also can I run the engine withour the stator. I have an extra battery to keep on board.

Hi Fish, i beleive the eng. is a "76" w/type V Ign.(needs stator to power the switch box) also has coil to charge batt.(2 y/r leads)so I say NO to running eng. w/o stator.good luck.

SOmetimes, if you are lucky, you can remove the flywheel, and stator, and then solder some new wires onto the stator, and then use new heat shrink and get it working again.<br /><br />I just did this with my 1970 80HP that sat in a chicken house for years, talk about corroded wires!<br /><br />its been working just fine
