I think it was me that recommended you use JSS for his stator work. I'm sorry you had the experience you did but I am sure he will make it right and I still stand by my recommendation. He's a bit quirky to deal with at times but his work is second to none, especially when it comes to stators. We are all human so things are going to happen from time to time.
As for the coil wires arcing, it looks like there was a failure in the insulation and it was punching through where the burn mark appears. That could be caused by even a tiny puncture that could have happened anywhere from source of manufacture to delivery and unfortunately is very hard defect to detect beforehand. Once in a ski with 20,000+ volts applied, all bets are off. Unfortunate that it ruined such an epic weekend but it should be a simple warranty exchange.
Be thankful it had the burn mark to make the failure point obvious. I warrantied a set of my cables at Daytona because they were arcing along the length and the replacement set did the exact same thing and really had us scratching our heads. My best guess was that it was tracing down the plug itself and jumping to the salt water on the wire sheath but either way, it wasn't a fun trip for the owner.
