    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Electrosport Rectifier Question

Hey everyone.
Thanks for the help with the no spark issue. I ordered some coils, and I'm just waiting for those to show up. I did test some other equipment to see if all was well and found the rectifier is also bad. I got a new one today but had some difficulty hooking it up.
The original rectifier had a red power wire and a black and white ground, which is the same as the new one. The problem is that the old rectifier has 3 different coloured wires, where the new one has 3 yellow wires. I hooked power to the new one and there are 3 different voltages coming from each of the yellow wires, but I can't compare that to my old rectifier because when I tested the old one (which is no good) I got a really random reading with lots of spikes and drops.
Any advice on how to make sure I don't hook it up wrong and blow things?
 
The three yellow wires on the R/R are AC input. Connect them to the three yellow output wires that come from your stator. The red wire is 12v positive DC output. Connect that to battery positive. The black wire is 12v DC negative output. Connect that to battery negative.

I know I could just plug the 3 yellow wires into the wires that I disconnected the old coil from. (There was a solid yellow, a White with red stripe, and a blue and white I think) The wiring diagram shows that 2 go to the stator, and another goes somewhere else on the bike (1980 GS550L) Since I'm pulling a different voltage reading from each wire, I would assume it does make a difference what one goes where. I don't want to feed too much through a component and fry it.
