What is the purpose of a recif

What is the purpose of a recifier on the motor? Does it have anything to do with the firing of the motor? Does the power pack go completely bad are can it work on two cylinders but be bad on the other? How do you test the power pack? How do you test the coils?
 
rectfier converts voltage from

rectfier converts voltage from ac to dc for charging. rect/ does not control ign spark
power packs can drop cyls when they go/buy a new one.as far as testing the equipment needed is far to expensive for the back yard boatman.
it works or it does not.ign coils can be tested with a spark gap tester or ohm meter.
i suggest you buy a book on your engine
