Many thanks for the detail reply Simon and co, I've been away a while and I'm just getting back into it.

The enclosed pic is my multimeter set for continuity, I have 3 rectifiers and Ive tested them all (on the bench) I have no continuity between the 3 yellow (inputs) and the red/white outputs on any of them. Does the bike need to be running and all connections made ?

I've set the meter for resistance on the smallest scale (200) and tested the green and white field coils (again I have 3 units) and they all test (on the bench) at 4.6

The stator AC output I'll look at tomorrow.

I apologise in advance, I think I understand the theory but maybe I'm not testing right  :(  I'm not sure if everything needs to be connected and running

The next thing to test is the alternator.   With your meter on ac volts  (9 o'clock position),  with the engine running, check each yellow lead to see if it's generating.
If it isn't,  check if you've got 12v dc on the field coil.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
