I have a 'used for racing' only NSR. Lately starting has been a problem, so changed the ignition switch. Sort of fixed it, but I do spray an 'Ether' mix down the carbs first.
Right!
So I went to put a rag over the carb inlets, and I got burnt! WTF?
Felt around, and found the 'rectifier' (?) was red hot. left side black finned thingo with numbers SH572-12
91
Has two sets of wires going into red plugs next to battery.
It's finned obviously to disperse heat, but 5 minutes running the motor, I couldn't hold my hand on it for more then a few seconds. Surely this is not normal? "Houston, do I have a problem?' If so, how do I fix it?
