I wanted your expertise on the subject first
If it hasnt been removed with a hammer and plasma cutter then I suggest having it rewound. If it has been removed with tow strap and come-a-long then buy a used one off ebay

Wait, is there another way to remove them?If it hasnt been removed with a hammer and plasma cutter then I suggest having it rewound. If it has been removed with tow strap and come-a-long then buy a used one off ebay
Yes, usually a 1/2 inch impact wrench takes them off nicelyWait, is there another way to remove them?
Kind of a strange question to ask on "DIRTBIKEADDICTS." We all have some needs to fufill. Anything with 2 wheels and a motor (running or not) is worth my time.If you can restore it back to showroom condition that would be awesome... if not then why bother ?
Ask the people on ebay to give you ohmic resistance measurments. Most people will oblige. If they give you a small number and a big number, then it's good. Opens or shorts are no good on a stator. $35 isn't much and I'll bet one of them on ebay will work just fine. I've bought a good one on ebay for an 81 KDX, 89 YZ250, and 89 KTM. All worked great. Good luck.finally got some "extra" cash. the alternator assembly (stator) is discountiued and mine trashed. There are 2 on ebay but 35 year old electrical parts scare me a little bit. Should i try to get it rewound? Or can any of you gurus find me a NOS one someone had lying around?

Its only 6 months too late but here are some pics.
Weather is cooling off and not much rideing left so im gonna need something to do. Gonna probably pick up a cheap 250 to fix/sell/part out and get this going over the winter.
Stator wires are obviously shot but i did attempt to put new point and condensor in it so those are brand new. I think i am going to try to wrap it myself. What kind of wire should i use and any tips?
If it was an important bike i would try but it just to have fun and something to do while putting it back together. From what i've read alot of people do it themselves and this coulden't be a better bike to try it on incase i fail. And worse comes to worse i have to send it out and then you can give me a big ol "told you so" because 99% of the time i end up doing what you said to do in the first placeI dont want to see you get hurt so use safety wire.................................
....................... all kidding aside, call someone and have it done.

Also try the local airports as they have those types of services available.

Yeah the only reason i have it really is to tinker with and something to ride around the pits if i ever finish. so..I've never redid one. I'd say go for it, like you said its basically just a project bike
