Touchdown! Greaser!
I believe I have a toasted diode in the rectifier of my 1970 CB750. (the battery kept bleeding down; and I read a 0.9v use when the key is off, which disappears when I disconnect the rectifier)
Anyway, does anyone think I can buy replacement diodes and install them?
If not I might (instead of buying a new but rather old fashioned rectifier for 150$) buy a combination electronic VR and rectifier for 225$ which I see available. Although I still like the idea of a 5$ diode which I solder in!
Problem is finding the right one, if they are available at all, and if they can actually be installed in the rectifier as I might hope.
How do I troubleshoot this (see pic) to decide which diode needs replacement?
Either way, I'd like to knock this out asap, riding weather is upon us!
