The ground wire from the stator to the electrical box on my JS550 started smoking today and burnt up. Maybe the engine block wasnt grounded correctly or just heated up from a bad connection / high resistance... not sure. The negative wire from the battery is supposed to connect to the electrical box frame right?
Anyways... it started smoking when the starter was cranking. A HUGe puff of smoke came up. I will need to replace the wire but do you guys think anything else is jacked up? Anything in the stator? I'm having a hard time getting the flywheel off, so I can't really see if anything is messed up there yet. Any advice for me? Ridiculous... nothing worse than going to the lake and having something like this happen bummed
