solid state reg/rect was created by amedeo
on my 77 Kz400,i have a shorted rectifier. this is the old type with the separate voltage reg. I have a newer solid state reg/rec combo.it also has 3 wires coming out plus the fourth that goes to the battery.my question is this ,one wire is black the other two are yellow. can i change the connector head and use it ,or do i have to change the stator? thanks to all.

Sounds like it's the wrong type of reg/rec combo.

Ibsen will know better, but I think your bike uses an excited-field alternator. The reg/rec combo would need the same number of yellow wires, plus a ground wire, a positive wire, and a wire to the rotor. Some combos also have what's called a sense wire (usually brown).

Where did you get the reg/rec combo, and/or what bike was it intended for?

Solid state... as opposed to tube powered?

Solid state as compared to mechanical (regulator).

You spend too much time with amplifiers :laugh: :laugh:
