The old 4 pin 17 amp stator systems had a habit of eating regulators, went through 4 of them on my 72. Dumped everything and went to the later 32 amp stator & reg and haven't had an issue since.
PS you do the swap use the original rotor on the bike now not the repop on that comes with the kits. Contrary to what gets said it works just fine and is a beefier design than the cheap import replacements.

Thanks for all the reply's, I found the information I needed in an old Clymers manual. The regulator is toast but the stator passed the tests. The book had a a good write up of how to perform the tests with an multimeter and a diagram of the pin layout and the internal layout of the regulator.
Only thing I ever heard decent/good about anything in a Clymer Book!!! If ya get it sorted please share the procedure.. I still have a 4 pin on the Farm!!!
