This is on my 2008 Lifan trail 70 Replica.

I had a 140cc on it for a bit but put the 110cc back in it.

There was only a few wires changed for the 140cc install and I left it so I could swap everything back. It is a dc style stator.

After I swapped the 110cc back in and put all the wiring back in place I fired it back up. Not soon after I threw the lights on I noticed the rectifier was smoking.

I shut it off and checked all the wiring again and again and put a spare rectifier in it and fired it back up. I revved it up a few times and the headlight and tail light blew at the same time.

The Only thing I changed with the swap back was putting a new Stock coil and new stock 4 pin cdi in it.

I did notice that I forgot to tighten the coil down to the frame. Could the coil not being grounded the reason for smoking the rectifier and the lights?

Any other Ideas?
