Rectifier Assembly

  1. Check for continuity of positive diodes between each stator coil terminal and "BAT" terminal of rectifier assembly. Reverse ohmmeter leads and recheck for continuity.
  2. If continuity exists in both polarity directions or does not exist in both directions, diode is defective and must be replaced.
  3. Check for continuity of negative diodes between each stator lead and "E" terminal or rectifier assembly. Reverse ohmmeter leads and recheck for continuity. Continuity should exist in one direction only.
