    Hi all. I've been through the guides and tried to scour the forums. Lots of great info, super handy! One thing though... Can anyone point me in the direction of the specs on the diode block components? Mine is not working. I'm an electronics technician by trade and pretty sure I'd have the components kicking ng around to build one but can't find specifics anywhere.

    Thanks

    there is a rectifier diodes and 1 resistor for the oil light 900 diode.JPG it is potted to disapate the heat so the bigger the better as far as amps goes . I have one I will measure the resistance for you after work tomorrow

    this is the setup in a 650 you can see the diode and resistor in the start button/oil light wiring
    650 diode.JPG
    oil light to resistor to oil level switch.
    or when you press starter button the ground is made there for the light to come on through diode.

    I have a few if you need one. Have you checked the brushes?
