I got a really bad whiff of burning rubber yesterday after a blast out. I had a nosey around the tyres and it wasn't them so I had the belt cover off but alls ok in there. My rectifier is knackered and has been for ages so I have a permanent flat battery but as I boot start it I've never bothered replacing it. Could i be frying something in the electrics with the faulty rectifier?

Depends on how the rectifier died Mark

If its gone open cct and therefore not producing any dc voltage it should be OK, If like when mine went down, the regulator side died and then prduced 18v dc plus and over charged the battery which then blew up as boiled dry.

Best either unplug it, change it.

Stick a meter across the battery to check when running.

By the way a 644 rect will fit and be better than std as its a 200w reg not a 190w as std

Thats what I did to mine
If it aint sharp I can play with it
