That is a lot worst than I suspected but I know when magnets turn loose they do a lot damage. Pull the stator and see if the mounting posts are still intact. If still intact then it is a new stator and flywheel time. IF the posts are broken then it is probably time to replace the engine due cost involved vs replacement.

And to add to Stars post, usually a fried stator takes the rectifier out as well so replace it.
If you hook up a good stator to a badly fried rectifier you can burn it out pretty quick.
There are a lot of courage flywheels out there so you should be able to get a good used one
You can not use a Command flywheel because the Commands have a forged crankshaft which is thinner so the hole will be too small .

Thank you! This is great knowledge. Didn't even think of the posts.
