Mounted to the inside of the left crankcase cover.

You'll need two gaskets, the crankcase cover gasket and the smaller

For this, I'd recommend getting Paul's video on rebuilding the starter

But first, as someone else suggested, I'd make sure that the stator
really is the cause of your problems, and not the rectifier. See the
