CBX Z Ignition power Circuit

[Little mate]

Just found a melted connection from alternator to rectifier so will have to cut wires and do a splice. Then pull the alternator and check for bad windings. Is the 81 rectifier the same as the 79 if so I will have to dig thru my attic or a 79 cb750 I have 1 of those somewhere.hope I can find igniters while I'm up there along with a set of pickups for the pulse gen

No luck on the regulator /rectifier both the spares did not test good, that is if the test in the manual for the 2000ohms and 50 ohms is a good test all I got was around 500 or so on all three regulators / rectifiers red and green wires are all three bad ? It looks like it to me

I have question we know that the alternator does not putout at low rpm, but does it have output while cranking at startup.
