JR: I was looking at the partsforscooters.com link you posted and I don't think EITHER of those stators are correct for my scooter. The type 1 looks similar, but the connector is definitely wrong. I measured mine the way they are measuring the one they have there and it measures 43mm center of hole to center of hole where theirs is 46mm. They don't show the measurement of the type 2 but it looks larger, however the plugs look wrong too.

The ebay one you showed says the shaft size is 32mm and my shaft size was 41.5mm. Hell, even the wrong I bought was a 35mm.

I bet ONE of these three stators is for the cfmoto version, but I'm like you: a guy will have to pull it out and measure what he's got and make sure he's ordering the right thing!

JR: The stator I got WAS for the linhai engines, just not mine. If you will look at partsfochinesescooters.com you will see they specifically show a different one for Roketa. I don't know why Roketa would be a difference, cause they're all made in varying places, but that is what they have it listed as.

Just when you think you've got the problem figured out, 5 other problems crop up to take it's place.

Hey guys, I've been in St Louis on vacation so I've not been watching the forum.

I took this picture looking up at the St Louis Arch on saturday:


In any event, I've been reading up on what's been going on here and I just had one thing to add to what JR said about the 2 stators. Both of them were supposed to fit the Linhai engine. The larger one of them is listed as the Roketa magneto. It seems strange to me that there are two different types in identical engines, but there it is.

As for donating my old one, I had been kicking around the idea of rewinding it myself based on that link JR posted "The Stator Papers." I was wanting to maybe have a spare for later down the road. That having been said, I'd be happy to part with it in the name of scooter repair science to someone who knows that it is that they are doing.

Just keep in mind, my stator was 104mm overall with a shaft size of 41.5mm. The smaller one that I got and had to send back was 93mm overall with a shaft size of 35mm. I think that perhaps a cfmoto clone engine may possibly have a different one entirely? Before I give mine up to be rewound, I think we'd ought to find someone with an identical stator that needs replacement.

I got my annual scooter insurance bill in the mail this week and noticed that the rate had increased over 20% over last year! I was appalled. I went to State Farm and Allstate both and they were both higher still than American Family.

So, I went to American Family and asked if they could do anything about the rate and at first he says they don't set the rates yada yada yada and that he can't override them. I told him, well I noticed that I don't have state minimum, can the coverages be altered thereby changing the cost. I was astounded. At $100,000/300,000 it was $174/yr but drop down to $50,000/100,000 and it was $86/yr. State Minimum is $25,000/50,000 so I'm still above that.

So anyhow, it pays to ask questions!

I sent the seller a question on ebay about that trunk and got sort of an odd response:



He says:



Also, that guy has several negatives over the past month. Not sure I wanna deal with him.

What do you suppose he meant by that? I'm guessing that English is not his first language.
