I ADDED ELECTRIC START TO MY SLED. I MADE UP THE HARNESS FOR THE ELECTRIC START MYSELF AND BOUGHT A REGULATOR FROM DENNIS KIRK #21-53 REG.IT IS A UNIV.FIT WITH 4 WIRES GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIP,YELLOW ,RED ,BLACK THAT LOOKS LIKE JUST A GROUND THATS HOOKS UP TO METAL BODY ON REG.MOUNTING SCREW.DO I NEED A RETIFIER ALSO AND WHERE DO ALL THE WIRES GO, AND I DONT CARE IF THE LIGHTS STILL WORK LIKE THEY DO NOW. I JUST WANT TO CHARGE THE BATTERY,CAN I USE THE RECTIFIER OUT OF A CAR ALTERNATOR??THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFORMATION.

I got the same one from image and i couldnt figure it out either, then I found i didnt need it anyway because I had the right rectifier. It has an internal rectifier so you wont need another one. Do you have the rectifier that goes on the battery box?
If not I may be able to help you out. Do you have the oem wiring harness for electric start?

Ace, have you got this figured out yet?

RSplash40 · Post by **RSplash40** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 2:09 am

I've got some spare parts if you need them, solenoids, wire positive terminal to solenoid(1), if anyone needs it. I've got a rectifier but not sure I'm willing to give it up yet.

Sporty- you have any instructions on how to build the rectifier?

Sure, its easy 24 volt zenier diode stud mount.. ebay for about 5 bucks for 2. then a 6 inch lead with a female spade connector. If you want I can get the name of the supplier I got them from on e bay.

how do you isolate them? The factory ones have some goofy plastic and a transparent film discs.
