Ok, when ya say you have good power up to the rectifier, does this mean you did an ohm test for the wires(key off) leading UP TO the rectifier? Then did the same test(key on) but voltmeter set to at least 20 volts DC? This will tell you if everything up to this point is good(proper 12 volts). Then with(key on) you did a voltage test for the wires that GO FROM the rectifier to other various points? It's important, because it could be a "Ignition Trigger Sensor". This sensor senses power, and with the proper timing triggers a firing of the coil to the spark plugs. It acts like "points" on older vehicles. If tests on correct wires show good, leading up to the rectifier and you don't have any breaks, BUT, no voltage(key on and meter set to 20v DC) coming from rectifier and you don't see any meter movement then rectifier is NO GOOD as you previously mentioned. Only reason to do this test is that most rectifiers are pretty expensive and it eliminates needing to buy something that's not needed. Good Luck and get that Griz growling again.
