So you’re saying test as a bridge rectifier circuit? Makes sense. I’ll have another go at it. For me, an electrical schematic would be very helpful, as opposed to the various pictorial representations. Are any such available?

Interestingly, the insulation is crumbled on the black lead from the points to the disconnect. I’d guess improperly compounded neoprene.

On a couple of other matters:

Should I expect to find the usual hard-anodized aluminum pump body in this motor? I can order just the impeller, but there are "chrome pump kits" around at reasonable prices. Not sure if these are the bronze pump body or the plastic-with-metal-liner type. Worthwhile?

I haven’t touched the fuel pump or carbs. There are obvious hard hoses to change out. anything in particular to expect here?

Thanks,
