Generally its the fault of the regulater/rectifier.

To test...check for continuity between + to -you should only have continuity ONE way.

If continuity is both ways or NOT at all the rectifier should be replaced.

For the stator...check for continuity between the 2 yellows..if none exists...change out the stator.
