ok i just bought a 14ft speedster in middle of winter w/out seeing running. i am good w electronics and work on all other kinda motors including snowmobile(not rotor valve) so i need a little info.the guy had replaced a motor last yr. i was given old motor also. what happened on old motor was looks like all 4 stator wires melted right from case through harness. from what i see it looks like guy who changed appeared to know what doing by looking at wiring but the 657x motor was replaced w a 657 and i seen post saying electronics different? the guy abandoned burn wires in harness and ran the 4 wires from motor right into elec box. only wire i see not being used is white.also would all the old motor need is a stator? i ask this because i also seen tag on motor(i think sbc) isnt that a reman motor?do i fix that and go back to t 657x or... not that important i didnt get to check yet if other 657x has sbc tag yet. i dont mind spending a few dollars but if it does actually run now do i leave alone or what? lol! thanks oh yeah....the motor that hasnt been touched looks liked the paint melted off top?????
