Please help!

Bad rectifier on the above atv. The rectifier that I removed only has white, black, green and yellow with red stripe wires. EVERY search online for this year atv shows a rectifier that has waaayyyy more wires! i know the one i pulled out is original as i am friends with the original owner. What is the story here?

 

You're removing the speed limiter , not the voltage regulator .
The voltage regulator should look like this -

well that is for an xplorer 300 and mine is a 400

 

Another one with a better pic -

Says on the bottom of page that it fits 1998 explorer 400 also

 

One of the most common shared regulators used by Polaris. The updated part number(2205046) from the original 4060191 also fits a lot of 4 stroke machines along with the Explorer 400 2 stroke. Any regulator listed that replaces either one will work.

guys...you are highlighting the exact problem i am trying to get help with

Yooper-The first one you sent fits a 300 xplorer....yet looks just like the one i pulled from my machine


the second one you sent is the one that everyone says is for the 400....it has too many wires compared to what i removed


Polaris tech-The second part number is the one they say fits the 400, but it has twice as many wires as what i pulled out of my machine


did I pull the wrong part out of my machine? is there another part that looks just like a rectifier with less wires??

 

Look at my photo album on here to see what the part that is in my machine looks like

 

You are confusing the reverse speed limiter with the regulator.. The module you show a pic of has a brown,white,green,y/r and black.This the the LR44 reverse limiter module that I'm looking at now in the wiring schematic. The regulator wire colors are Yellow,Y/Brown,Y/Red,Brown and Red!

 

LOL!....well that would explain it. Looks very similar. SO, where would the rectifier be then?
