You will love it when it's sorted , reg rectifier really easy to fix throw. It away and fit a modern one . That Rickman fairing will be snapped up if you decide to sell it . Take some pictures as you are working on it cos we are all nosey .

I find it interesting when people have problems with various components.

As far as i'm aware, my ETZ250 is still using the original Mechanical voltage regulator.

taking care of your battery does wonders for the life of the voltage/rec/ reg
