True, but while the output is the same more of the output is turned into heat, heat is not your friend.


Another, not uncommon, reason for melted stators is rubbing by the rotor, usually at the 3 O'Clock position. If the rotor/stator isn't properly checked and set for radial clearance, if the primary chaincase isn't properly shimmed and tightened to the engine stator failure is inevitable. The resulting melt down will appear anyway the owner wants to present it; much easier to blame a "faulty" reg/rec than to man-up and take it on the chin.  I am not saying that faulty reg/recs or grossly unbalanced output/load aren't right up there.


Best.
