A month or so ago my 08 225 threw a code 17, and I found a chafed wire in the attached picture. It's the yellow wire coming off the stator. The actual metal in the wire appeared to be in good shape, but there was that darkened bit next to the chafing. I'm pretty sure the flywheel cover wore through the insulation as this is exactly where the cover could contact the wire. I filled in the damage with liquid electrical tape to match the existing insulation thickness and put some tape around the wires to keep the cover from causing any more damage. No issues on two trips out, but I had some running problems and threw the code again on my last trip out. The problems only occurred at high RPMs (close to WOT).
My question is did I incorrectly fix this wire? I'm thinking a trip to the shop is likely in order, but wanted to ask first. I appreciate any help.
