between the flywheel and the pickups on the stator and charge coil.
I used to place one (1) layer of masking tape to set the gap. Then when rotating the flywheel a slight rub would be seen on the tape to know I had clearance, remove the tape and reassemble.
ChampoiNman or OMC dealer would have the gauge set to make this assembly fool-proof. (CDI I believe includes instructions in their parts.)

The stator has an alignment dowel on the raised part of the block. I was thinking for sure this is the correct location to be set at.. start all four bolts and it shouldn’t move around any cause the flywheel is keyed also

That is correct Taylor there is no alignment needed on the stator. But you need to clean the coating off of both sides of the stator holes to ensure a proper ground. There are a large amount of volts running around in there.

Ok one last question. The rest of my electronics are cdi, should I go with cdi stator or OEM?
CDI keep like alike.
Just wanted to get on here and let anyone know that was following that the stator was the issue and trims up without bogging and also feels a lot more peppy on bottom end. Big thanks to all that put in their input to help me!!!!
Good to hear you got it fixed up.
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill !!
Thank you for reporting on the follow up!
