I talked to my marine mechanic, he suggested you can test the stator before you buy. Lots of videos on YouTube… multimeter and a couple wires to test. Then you would know if the stator was the issue or something else.

Yea I saw some of those too. A basic resistance check on the three coils will show if one of the coils is bad, in this case the high speed coil.
