Check the resistance between the 3 terminals on the stator (It has orange wires wrapped on it and the hall sensor attaches to it). The plug is at the 7 o'clock position. The resistance should be between 5-15 ohms between all 3 terminals. An open between any leg means a bad stator like mine was. Replaced and now works great again with no LE.
Also, do a search for the service manual for it. I found it free online. It will help troubleshoot problems. The more information you have, the better the decision you can make.
