    Well If that is true, I find it interesting that you can rope start it with a dead battery or no battery.. Possibly with a battery that is too low to run the starter. But it is almost universal that running with no battery may blow a rectifier. That’s because running on open circuit causes the alternator voltage to rise above what the rectifier can withstand.

    Anxious to see how this turns out.
