I just realized that my battery is not charging. I read the previous post on batteries not charging and I replaced the rectifier but I am still having the problem. On the old rectifier there was not a wire connected to the negative post. There was a red wire on the positive and two yellow wires. There was also a grey wire coupled with one of the yellow wires. I assumed ((possibly incorrectly) that the grey wire was to the negative and had been incorrectly placed there by the last owner so when i replaced the rectifier I placed the grey wire on the negative terminal. Now at idle I am reading 19-20 volts on the yellow wires (ac) and 70 volts from the red wire to the grey wire. But at my battery I am still reading 12.9 volts at idle. Same as the battery without motor running. So i am sure there is a problem down stream of the rectifier. I read on a previous post that there is a breaker but im not sure where to find it. Did i connect the grey wire to the wrong terminal. If so where the heck is my black wire. I have attached a picture and the grey wire in question is traced in red. It goes into a connector and comes out purple.
