Generac 7500EXL Stator - Shorted and needs rewinding

This dandy of a stator came from a Generac 7500EXL I purchased (Known to be dead) for cheap. After picking up the gen I could see the problem was a shorted/burnt stator. Wires ahead of the breakers in the outlet panel were frayed and shorted, which overheated the stator. I am going to attempt to reverse engineer this stator and rewind it. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO... PLEASE POST!!!

did you get your generac fixed? I plugged a tool in to test mine, then plugged a second tool to increace load, it ran fine but then the power quit and cant get it back. chcked everything I could find to no avail. mine runs like a clock but wont Idle down and no power going to the plugs, any advise for me whould greatly appreciated. thnx, James

I spent awhile unwinding the stator, and it was a huge slow task. After softening the windings with heat, I was able to separate the wires and found only the windings supplying the voltage regulator were the fried ones. Needless to say, buying a replacement was way easier. If you have no output, like near zero volts, it sounds like the regulator is not sending current to the armature. Possibly a bad brush. could be bad regulator or system control board.

Make sure you keep a good count of all the unwinding. Take a dial caliper and get the gauge of the wire, you can make a kind of vacuum impreg unit using a compressor and a drum with varnish in the bottom.
