Yes, that’s the kit I was looking at. And the stator is only $20, so I might order one. There are various rectifier numbers, with varying numbers of leads and some claiming to be “regulated” and some not. Sometimes there is a separate regulator, sometimes not. Is the kit intended to be used with a rectifier, a clipper, and a regulator? Hard to tell without the instruction sheet for the kit. Some sources recommend removing the clipper as doing more harm than good…. Then there is the advice to NOT use sealed batteries, which are pretty much the only type readily available these days. This kind of makes sense when the charging source is unregulated, as water will be boiled out of the battery and not readily replaced.
