What are the symptoms if the regulator/rectifier goes out? This is on my 1984 3 wheeler. All replies are appreciated

There are a few different things that can happen when one fails. 1 it will over charge the battery. 2 it will not convert AC to DC voltage. 3 it will not put out any voltage at all. Do you have a multi meter (volt ohm meter)to do some testing?

yes but I'm not very experienced with it.

Connect the leads to the battery turn the meter to DC volts. Watch the meter and start the trike it should start charging the battery. As you slowly rev the motor the voltage should go up and stop at 13-14 Volts DC if it goes higher than 14 the regulator/rectifier is bad. If it doesn't charge at all it's either the stator, regulator/rectifier or bad connection in the wire harness.
Turn leave the meter connected and turn it to AC Volts. You should not see any AC voltage at the battery if you do its a bad rectifier/regulator.
