    Colors were "good" identifiers at best. One rattle-can of spray paint can blow the theory all to heck....

    Msn.... can you find the Serial Number? (See Forum Announcements)

    On another note never discount your battery while the engine is running. That will burn out the rectifier. So,e old school people that don't know much about a recitifier sys. think you can disconnect the battery while it's running and if dies charging system is bad and if it stays running it's goog.

    And just to clarify... that "old-school" theory will cause almost immediate damage.
