A poor ground for the regulator will overheat the stator if it doesn't have any place to shunt the voltage..

Mine was 26 years old and from what I can see the lead wires to the plug became brittle, cracked open in a couple of places and the wire strands were stiff and discolored. Plus the fact that I had run for 5 or 6 miles with the regulator plug disconnected. **it happens. Now it's replaced with a Cycle Electric stator so I'll live happily ever after.
ve happily ever after.
