While waiting on carb parts to arrive, I decided to check for spark. Of course this bike has an 18mm plug and I didn't have a socket for it. Nor did the first store I went to. I eventually found one and I pulled the old plug to test. No spark. I had no battery attached, but I had seen online you could still get a (weak) spark. I installed a 6v battery, still no spark, but I did get a strong burning smell. And smoke! The connector from the rectifier was shorting out. When I pulled it apart, the plastic starting breaking and crumbling. I pulled the rest off and put heat shrink on the wires. Good for the moment, but not vibration proof. With this fixed I hooked the battery back up (no sizzle this time) and successfully got a working-ish headlight, break light, no blinkers, but also got what looks like a strong spark. I have no idea why the blinkers didn't work but hopefully it's just the bulbs.
