I'm looking for a lighting coil for my YTM225DX. I looked it up and it's part number 24W-85513-20-00. Nobody seems to have an OEM one, but there's these on Ebay:

Anybody ever buy one from this guy? I'm sure I have purchased from him before, but I can't remember exactly what.

Now wait a second. I looked it up by the OEM part number. Then I scrolled down and found another one for $12 cheaper from the same seller. Same stock picture. What's the diff?

Ok, so nobody else knows either. The price was right, so I went ahead and ordered one. Then I took apart the old stator, which I probably should have done first. It looks like it's in the wiring going through the grommet. This might be hard to fix unless I want to order a whole new stator assembly. I guess I'd have to replace the wires going through the grommet. They're using the cloth-covered wire, and I'm not even sure where to buy that...
