Any info? I'm lost as to how to get the damn thing off.

You gotta pull the flywheel off, then you will see two screws holding the stator plate. You might need your impact driver for those? Just follow the wires outta the case and unplug it. Heck im bored, all go do it and take some pics to help ya, and for the tech section.

Thanks man that would be really helpful.
I'm going to go give the flywheel another yank.. Hopefully it'll budge.
EDIT: Got it off... Can't seem to identify any problems (broken solder points, burnt wires). Everything seems okay, besides being a little dirty.
Quick question -
When you rotate your flywheel by hand, do you hear a sparking sound coming from INSIDE the flywheel (stator)?
I do. Is this bad?

Assuming you already pulled the shroud and fan off, this is how you get the stator out of a Minarelli motor. You will need a 27mm lefthand thread puller Here you can see the stator plate screws on the top and bottom off the stator plate. This is were an impact driver might come in handy. After you remove the two screws, unplug the stator and push the rubber grommet through the case. If all went well you should have this

How bad is it that I didn't use a thread puller?

As long as you didn't damage any threads or anything, it should be OK. A puller is definitely the easy way to do it without risk of damage though. How'd you pull it?
I don't recall a clicking as I rotate my flywheel, but I could be wrong. Did you ever test to see if it was putting out any sort of power as mentioned in the other thread?

I used a hammer claw to loosen it up and gave it a good hard tug.
I did test it with a multimeter, and saw like blips of power coming out. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to using a multimeter, though.

Did you note the wires you got power from or how many? If you are getting power from 3 wires (lighting, charging, ignition) it may not be the stator.

I'll pop it back on in a little while and go through and record all voltages. Update: About to go fit the stator back onto the scooter right now. While I had it out I did some bench testing with the multi meter set to resistance mode. A couple of pictures below showing the readings. I want to test the rectifier as well, but after doing some research I don't think it is the rectifier, as from what I understand, it usually just controls lights and the battery.
