That's Ok. You've already provided lots of great info! As to the coils, I think the coils are ok...just ok. It's the stator plate that is damaged that I need to replace. It's missing a chunk of metal where the timing marks are located. Is the center mark in the center of the bolt hole? Also, what type of honda bond did you recommend or do you think the 3bond product is better. Currently the cases have a greyish gasket material on them. Any ideas what this is?
Rick:
I use the Threebond 1104 (grey stuff) in the white and yellow tube, but have used the Honda case sealer before, just don't remember what kind. If you can't find the Threebond 1104, ask the service folks in the Honda shop what they use to seal the cases, and purchase what they use.
On the stator plate, if you can wait just a little longer, I plan to give you a stator plate I have in the shop as soon as I figure out this lighting coil thing. You can't buy just a stator plate, so the purchase would be quite expensive. On another thread, I noted I will be trying to wind my own lighting coil tonight, so might have this thing put to bed in the next week or so.

Rick,
That would be great!!! Email me at dumney4@msn.com. Thanks!
Above you mentioned that you recommended the 1211 type goop but then stated you use the 1104. Which one is recommended?
Rick:
I've used both, but checked the shop and found the 1104. I have used both, but like the grey color o the 1104. I believe the 1211 is white and the 1104 is grey, but not sure about any other differences. They both worked fine. Also, using a scotch bright pad and carb cleaner sure helps get the old gasket material off.

Sounds good. Looked a AutoZone and all they carry is permatex stuff. I'll try Napa.
