It is the same as the oem. Dont condemn it because its a Ricky stator. There can be alot of things that are overlooked when installing a stator. IE did you make sure the voltage regulator is hooked up, the wiring is ok, and its working properly. This could have caused your lights to burn out. Second did you adjust the pickup coil gap? If the flywheel magnets have shit hanging off them from being mangled, that could contact the pickup coil and basically heat it up till it quits working. Other problem is the flywheel could be cracked internally from the previous damage, hitting it with a hammer, or dropping it also.
