Got one of the high output lucas stators on my 350 bullet.
The insulation of the wiring going into it has become brittle an inflexible through exposure to heat and oil. It splits a little at the stress point where it exits the potting compound every time the stator is removed and has now got to the point where the core is exposed. Being potted, I can't go in and replace the affected wires with new ones (I'd have soldered in a new piece of multicore on an OEM stator).
Are there any known repairs for this? If not, I'm thinking of de-greasing it as far a humanly possible then covering that whole area in a man-size blob of thickened epoxy.
