timypete Moved this out of a 15 year old thread so yo get some response from the members that know.

All I can suggest is to check the fuse(s) under the cowl.

Corroded or loose battery cable connections can destroy the rectifier and can also prevent the starter from running. Remove and clean the connections shiny bright, don't just look at and wiggle them.
