CA160 stator
Since I get continuity between all the wires on my 1966 CA160 stator, I'm guessing it's toast. In looking for a replacement, they seem rare. But, CB and CL160 stators are easier to come by. They look similar in parts illustrations, but can anyone tell me if they are interchangeable?
Thanks. |

Good Question! The CA160 stator part number differs with the CB160 stator part number. The engines are the basically the same except the CB160 has a different head & carb and top mount set up. I would guess that they are interchangable.

I think the stator should interchange with all engines in the family up to the 175 sloper (and I believe the verticals too (69 and up). Used ones are on ebay for about $20 and up but with used electrical parts its always a crapshoot.

Got another mystery. According to my wiring diagram the stator has a pink, brown and light green with red stripe coming out. My stator has a Brown, pink, and dark green wiht yellow stripe coming out. These plug into corresponding colors on the wiring harness. In addition I have a light green with a red stripe that plugs into the wiring harness and goes toward the stator, but plugs into nothing. Any guesses? My wiaring diagram shows a neutral switch which I don't have. Maybe that?
Gotta love the 40+ year old mysteries. : ) |

Yes, it's the neutral light switch wire. it will have a male end and reach to just above the drive sprocket.

Found it! Not what I expected it to look like, but it's there.
Thanks. |
