GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Cirhere, you might try the "Outboard Engine Troubles & Questions" forum. This is the Nothing to do with boats forum! I would answer your question but I dont even know what a stator is, are you sure its not Starter?
http://outboardparts.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting3.htm a good troubleshooting link for you. Yes, in the future post the outboard questions on the outboard forum. A stator is not too tough to do. Even though you have a merc the procedure is very close.<br /><br />Bob
