Hello All about 3 weeks ago i got a 16ft smoker craft in rough shape, to fix up for my kid, at first it did not come with a key, so i replaced the key switch and jumped out the kill switch, got the motor cranking, no spark, did an ohms test on the stator and it seems fine, checked ohms on the rectifier and that seemed to work, the noticed the terninal block screws just keep spinning so i went to radio shack and bought a new terninal block and swapped out the bad terminals and was going to try to see if i can get spark and before starting it the rectifier started heating up and melting, smoking...!
ive put the wires back together as they were in the picture, i wondering if i swapped out the wrong wires by mistake but checking wiring diagrams online they seem right and i t careful swapping them as it stands now terminal 1 is red constant,and red to rectifier...terminal 2 purple and yellow with blue strip one from rectifier and one from stator terminal 3 is yellow with white strip from stator and recifier, i didnt disconnect passed that but terminal 4 is yellow from both rectifier and stator, and terminal 5 is black with white stripe.... could tightening the wires made contact with a bad recifier, theres also a loose tan wire I think its the tachometer, ive tried for weeks to get this engine cranking, also i did an ohms test on the power pack and got no readings through out, any help would be appreciated
