Which book is this? You usually know what the regulator is going bad, as you will constantly blow out light bulbs and ruin batteries.

if the regulater/rectifier is bad will i still get spark?

[team-red-rider]

yes y will

[RedRider_AK]

Yeah. I had a couple of old Arctic Cat sleds back in the day and I stuffed big engines into them, they'd run fine with no volate regulator. It just keeps your 12 volt current flowing at a steady rate so you don't get surges of power when you hit the gas.

what about the cdi are there some figures like ohms or something else on cdi tests ?

Can you get into 3ww chat right now? It's easier to talk in there.
