what is the mfg date stamped on your tunnel is that '75 if so its probably a '76 which would need a stator a 75 like harley said would have points. If its a 76 you and I are in the same boat "parallel universe" PM me if you find some good stators.

Well decided to run my Deere in a poker run this weekend, kinda had alot of people laughing at me ... at first. She ran great for the first two legs of the run (80mi) by then everyone wanted me to finish but it was very hard and rough snow as I was about to need a walker to get around now I almost c...

What are the thoughts on setting up my 76 400 with a slide rail susp. I was goin to add bogies so the slides would be unused. Just to give it some more travel I think it would work. And any ideas for an independent front susp? I would like some input on this. Would also like to know if this thread m...

well that bad stator I bought turned out to be good as I almost ran the 400 through the wall in the shop will take it out and test ride it tomorrow

Wilft, I might be interested in your stator

Well Rich, this 400 is pretty rough. Nothing I can't fix but its rough been outside for 20 some years until now. And unfortunately I'm not going to Horicon. Does anybody else have a stator lying around?

Well can a good electronics shop repair it?

Great! Thats the one I bought.

Well my parts are ordered stator and timing ring. Can they be put in separately or are they pretty much one unit. I want to avoid screwing the timing up, due to my inexperience in that area of a 2 stroke. So if I can somehow leave the timing untouched it would be alot less on my mind.
Thanks

Well you can do like I did and carefully use a pulley puller being careful not to break the shreeve but I didn't have much luck not breaking my salsbury. But with a problem like you have, once its off don't put it back on.

Good Luck

Thanks
Now to replace the stator do I have to split the motor and/or time it? Can I get buy without splitting the motor if it is the case?

Ok everything is tested out, results are as follows: PTO - 30.5 info said should be 30.2 Mag - 30.1 " " " " 29.8 Low Speed - 2.49K " " " " 2.52K High Speed - 13.0 " " " " " 73.9 BIG PROBLEM! Right? Now where do I get my new stator for ...

also how was i supposed to test the stator i couldn't find anything but wiring schematics here maybe i just looked at the wrong spot.

Just hooked the meter up to the yellow & green wires that go to the cdi box with the plug connected to the motor and got a 2.43ohm reading also i noticed there is a "o" type wire connector under the dash area with 3 black wires together in that connector, it is not hooked up to anythin...

So if I go out to the JD boneyard what WDA carb should I look for? As for the CDI box I will try to ohm it out but what and where are the wires i need to check & what should they read?
