500K2 Electrical Connection Blocks
philward:
Thanks Mike - this one came off the K6 project when it wasn't charging - changing for a spare cured the problem but if this one is checking out ok, it was maybe just a dirty connection that was cured when the alternative rectifierwas plugged in.
Anyway, its a result that this ones working (still don't know were I have put the original 500k2 rectifier though - too many spares for too many bikes!)
Thanks again

Don't rely on testing all six diodes at once (positive to negative).
The worst case scenario is four of the diodes are duff and you're only reading through a pair of diodes connected to one phase. In that case, you'll get charging but not a lot.
Certainly not enough to have any lights on.
philward:
Haven't tested pos to neg Mike - tested as per your recommended way but
'I get a reading (diode range) when putting red meter lead on neg on rectifier AND with black lead on rectifier negative
I get nothing when putting black meter lead on postive or the negative rectifier lead?'
Am I missing something in my ignorance?

Some verbal diarrhoea on my part is called for at this juncture.
