OK, next question. As part of the motor tear-down I pulled the flywheel and found the stator assembly (it looks a little cocked to the front in this picture because I had already loosened the stator assembly from its retaining plate below).
I’ve looked at several online parts diagrams for this motor (model E25RCNB) and the diagrams all show a charge coil and ignition sensor as part of this ignition system, with both of those pieces mounted to the same plate as the stator. I don’t see any such charge coil or ignition sensor on mine, I don’t see any way those pieces could mount on the stator plate and I don’t see any loose wires or connections where the charge coil or ignition sensor could hook up to.
When I first got the motor, I checked it for spark and it was throwing a really hot blue spark on both plugs. So what do I have here?
EDIT – OK, think I got it now. A little more research would indicate the separate charge coil and ignition sensor components can be used together as an upgraded replacement for the older stator assembly with integral charge coil and sensor that I have on this motor . I’m learning as I go – any further input is always welcome, especially if I’m wrong!
