Temporary gasket made out of a weetabix box with a thin smear of blue instant gasket should hold it tight till I get a proper one,

The dark phase of the stator doesn't look too bad, they often go darker with the heat, but it looks like its actually melted? Thats bad :)

Nice....

I had a pic like that once upon a time!

It must have melted as there is little blobs of gunge stuck on the inside of the flywheel. When i looked at it first i thought the flywheel was damaged but it just rubbed off when i wiped it so its all ok, thank feck. I'll take some more pics when the new one arrives,

You only need to measure the ID of the stator I think to find the difference.

4 x 8mm head bolts out and it lifts out (you need to undo the tag too, 1x philips #1) and measure the ID with a caliper etc

Neo, Electricx World say only two types fit , G17 = 92 mm outside diameter & G72 = 102 mm outside diameter. I have measured my one at 102 mm so looks like its the G72..I have ordered one now so if its wrong they will swap it for the other..I did ask!

Yeah thats the later one, same as the NC30. (oh which is what you have btw)

New gasket arrived from David silvers today and posty left a note to pick up stator from post office, will get it tomorrow, To wet and windy to work outside today anyway. I really need a garage.lol

Yee ha . all sorted now, 13.6 v at tick over rising to over 14 when reved up so its all working as it should.
