Rewiring a Rally stator - I noticed three wires are solid core (two yellow and green). I assume I can't replace them with stranded cores? I'll have to go pick up some solid core, I guess?

Since I know how to solder but I've never done a stator, I want to get it right.

Solid core in something that vibrates and moves does not sound right. Is it?

I rewired mine and I'm sure I used stranded. Still have spools of those colors.

Me, too. All the colors but only stranded...didn't expect solid but this is the first stator I've messed with that wasn't points-based.

Go stranded. Won't be an issue. Even Scooterwest's re-wire kit is all stranded.

I don't think it is, makes me think someone has been in there already.
