787 flywheel electrical harness F'd?

[Obabyjebus]

So, in the process of pulling the engine and I find this when I disconnected the wiring harness. I'm surprised the thing would even run like that. Now what? I can't imagine this is something that's easy to find? Suggestions appreciated. Also, thanks for this forum. New to jet boats and picked up a 97 challenger 1800 for 1,000 bucks that I just couldn't pass up.

Thanks,

Jake

I think I answered my own question. It's obviously the harness for the stator, anyone think it would be possible to reconnect the loose wire back into the harness? This engine is looking like it was rebuilt before by a total hack, which explains why it's coming out again.

I had the same issue and since my Stator had a dead short i decided to change the outer cover and stator.
If you want to go that route PM Nick, [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION] and i am sure he can hook you up.

Thank you. I'll keep you posted (if you're interested) when I get things opened up.

EDIT:

Here's what I found inside. Looks fine except the three wires hanging.

In the picture I posted last, does that oil mean there was a failure somewhere between the crankcase and the flywheel? Doesn't seem like there should be that much in there. Anyone think that stator can be salvaged? I'm not sure which wires are supposed to go where in the harness connection but other than the oil, it appears intact.

You could get new pins and repair it, or get a new/used one. But First you gotta check the seal behind the flywheel. That should be dry inside and oil free. Gonna need a special puller, not a regular flywheel puller either.

I figured that oil wasn't supposed to be there... I'm replacing the motor anyway so it's all good.

I think I found the connector on Amazon, didn't realize it was a pretty common harness. I'll try to replace it.


I saw that SBT says to pull three screws out of the magnet cup to use a universal puller when I take the flywheel off? Is that not the case?

You can extract the pins from the connector and reuse it, but the pins are what you need.

I guess you could do it like sbt said, but the correct puller makes it hassle free. I'd always fear breaking a screw in the flywheel, it takes a good bit of pressure to pop them sometimes.
