ok back to the drawing board. Put brand new exide high performance battery on and no dice. Cutting out and can't give it any throttle before the fan even comes on. At and idle battery was reading 12.39 and as I gave it as much throttle as I could it only went up to about 12.45. Also probably don't make a difference but temperature light stays on all the time. Probably bad sensor or something don't think that'd make it do what it's doing.

More than likely the regulator is bad. To eliminate it being stator related check the resistance between each yellow wire. Should be some small resistance with no yellow shorting to ground. If this checks out get a new regulator as you're just showing battery voltage. If fan isn't kicking on the sensor at the top of the radiator(#12) could be shorted out. Use needle nose pliers to jumps the leads to see if the fan works. If it does,replace the sensor. You can probably match this up at any auto supply.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rectifier-R...BTmc~7&vxp=mtr I'd still bleed the head again to make sure there isn't any trapped air. If the fan comes on,then the sensor is working,but the load on the battery is probably what causing some of the problem. Has to be charging around 14 volts for the battery to keep up.

stator test good but having trouble testing rectifier. Testing the two yellow wires coming out of rectifier and not showing anything on multimeter. I have 2 parts quads and want to test them all and hopefully one will check out good and will solve my problem.

also what is the other box with the 4 wires? Tried swapping out rectifier with another used one I had before buying new and still doing same thing.

That's the reverse limiter module I mentioned in my first post to you! Pull its black wire from the terminal board to defeat this module. It can cause limiting problems if it faults. You don't need this module as it's more of a nuisance than a safety device. You can then have full power in reverse without having to push the over ride button.In a lot of cases forum members have solved problems especially with limiting in forward range also by eliminating this module. This is just another step in the process of elimination.
