I checked ohm's today at stator and they were 188.7. I was just wondering if the factory ignition ohm spec is around 185 why is the spec of a pvl different? They told me the pvl spec is between 162-179ohms. Would a factory set-up work on this LT?Do I need a new stator or could this one be fixed?Just trying to get him back in action,Thanks

You'll need a stator, flywheel, flywheel key, and the coil/CDI unit to go back to stock ignition.

Would be cheaper to just get the pvl stator for $150 would'nt it.

What did Penton say about checking the coil?
I'd want to make sure the coil was good also before a purchace.

To be honest I did'nt ask anything about the coil.I had a local shop owner to check it and he told me that it was good,I should have asked how to check it to since I had him on the phone.Jerry at penton said to check ohms between the black/blue wires and if its good its between 162-179 and mine was 188.7 so I just hope thats my problem atleast I would know what to fix so he can get in one some racing action before the seasons over.

Brian, I have no idea on the actuall size of the rollers.
They weigh just about 10 grams.
FYI: there are no aftermarket rollers that fit a LT80.
When we drill them, I push the metal part out and stick them in my lathe.
If you use vice grips/etc, they go egg shaped.

Was just wondering cause I just checked rollers after some rodeo practice and found that the center metal pieces came completely out of the teflon outer shell! Never had that happen before. A friend of mine had offered some rollers that he runs in his Apex just didnt know if they would work,look to be same size.

Not the same size.
You have a heat issue.
Is this the machine with the broken face?

No this is on the machine with your motor. The broken face is on the Grissom.
I changed out the rollers and it done fine saturday at the rodeo.
Would it be easier on the clutch components if I was to lighten 4 or 6 rollers to weigh the same as 3 factory rollers because it runs best with 3 factory rollers?

I tried a factory ignition set-up today and the sputtering stopped.Now the throttle response is sluggish. What would happen if I loosened the stator and adjusted the timing?Would that help the throttle response?
