Why risk the chance of major damage to your entire electrical system by keeping it? Swap it out with the much better designed VR.

Looks like one of the WHITE wires that comes from the stator.

Ah you have the cheap copy with the cooling fins :yikes: That version causes more problems than the OEM version ever has or will!!! (over charging). Darrin is spot on tho the Burnt Terminal connects to one of the White wires from the stator.

Time to inspect what if any damage that POS has done to your electrical components, best place to start is here http://fzronline.com/wiki/doku.php?id=no_spark_now_what

FYI that POS VR (the finned cheap copy) is well known to take out the TCI, Tacho, Fuel pump, and more. I hope your more fortunate.

Good luck.
