Which rectifier would you recommend? Is there a Honda/Kaw/Zuk OEM one that will work?
I wish the forum search engine worked better, I know this has already been discussed, but, I can't find it.

The rectifier is bad? I thought a rectifier rectified AC off of the flywheel gen set to DC., and that a zenor diode then turns the current above +/- 14v into its platform, and dissipates the excess current as heat. Which is why it has fins on it. I was under the impression that a diode (like in the rectifier) either works, or is blown. Have you checked all of the grounds? ...ARH
