Found a small part the either the trigger or stator wires goes too. It is melted at the one terminal. What is it called and what does it Do? I guess this is why I'm not getting spark?

That is the rectifier.-------It changes ac pulses from alternator coil to DC to charge the battery.

Well the new rectifier didn't help with the no spark problem. Guess I need to test the trigger next.

It was clearly stated in post # 2 that the rectifier has to do with charging the battery !!
