    I have replaced the rectifier with a rectifier-regulator. There is a post by "jerryjerry05"? on how to and what to use as a replacement.

    Your post got me thinking....... After checking around pics of the LU shaft I noticed that all of them have the same grove. I originally though that was caused by wear. As you stated....... that is where the seal seats......... Jerry, big thank you! I will now have to remove the JbWeld. Oops!

    I installed the new pack. Now I have spark on 1 and 3....... #2 gets one spark as soon as the motor is cranked and nothing after. I switched the orange and red cables and the problem moved to cylinder 1. Is half of the pack gone?
