Interesting guys, please update as information becomes available.

Bigmach, typically if an electrical item has that typical electrical burnt "smell" it's defective. Putting any electricity to it will more than likely make the item a good fire starter. Inspect the capacitor closely for burn marks or melted areas.

The silicone for the pickups is used to electrically insulate them from the case. You can use black RTV without issue, clean all the old stuff away first. Your rubber grommet protects the stator wiring from chaffing on the case where the wires feed thru as does the black chaff tape which is factory installed. Pay close attention to installing the pick-ups and wiring as they were initially, mistakes here will have you back scratching your head.
Not hard, just take your time.
