Ok now how can I repair it? Just join all the wires and cut those metal ends off?
DO NOT JOIN ANY WIRES! Replace what is burnt, if you cannot repair what is burnt with the engine in the current configuration you will get your wish and need to get to the stator.
This will keep you busy awhile, needing to remove the air cleaner assy., the fresh air intake duct, the engine shroud, and if you can not repair the wire from there, the flywheel. If you have to go that far you can do the stator as you are already there.
Would suck to have to do all that for nothing, but you'll learn that way.
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.
Advice is free, it's the application that costs.
ok so find another connector and then what? connect any wires that are melted or whatever. repair any wires with damage and then do the tests what you said back earlier? so when i get all the shrouding and stuff off what i need to get off to get to the stator. what else can i do since i have all that stuff off. cleaning, repairs?

Found the connector and stator in case I needs one. Cheap to
What would cause a plastic connector to melt? Grounded out? Also would a wire that is exposed would that make a connection melt?
Corrosion. When current goes through a bad connection and the connector develops a resistance it starts to get hot.
ok so would i have to replace the wire? the wire was left un taped for a while because i didnt notice it. and it was a little rusty and some wire sticking out of it?
I'd replace all the bare wire, plus 3-6", depending if there was any heat damage making the insulation brittle and not flexible...
