Stator Change

[jdross440]

I am replacing my stator on my 1990. Is this yesr supposed to have the little wire for oiling? Item 15 in picture.

My 89 has it and I believe that after the second update on the 83's they all were the same.

Thank you. I will look and see where it went. May be in oil drain pan or stator cover. I thought when I replaced stator 6 years ago it was there.

Is it behind this nut or is it supposed to stick out of hole?

It's behind the nut.   The hole in the nut is not big enough for the rod to fit through.

Here is the page from the recall notice from Yamaha, showing how the wire fits behind the nut.
