Hi, I got the cover off the stator and turned it, I could not before, I lost my #8 cube somewhere, it started up nice and several more times to boot. I wonder what could have happened? The starter wires for the coils were loose inside the starter so the contact there was poor, soldered and made it

I replaced the rear stem stays and that was pretty easy but figured the front ones might be more difficult because of the wiring. Bassam From: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com [mailto:nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 10:16 PM To:
