Default might have solved the dead battery bad rectifier problem

the ground wire going into the rectifier was broke inside the wire cover,I grounded the rectifier using a jumper wire ,grounded it to the stock ground point and wala it is now charging the battery,I wonder if all the charging problems were from a broken wire like mine,Its possible this was over looked by many because you could not tell the wire was broke by looking at it I did a continuity test from the plug end to where the ground wire went into the rectifier and thats how I found it

Slice another wire to the ground of rectifier(just above battery) and run it directly to the battery ground(-).
This is an unofficial factory mod.
