Hi Guys,
I know Old Topic, New Fella....
I searched the forums (not really), and found some posts,
but nothing Bang-On to my issues.

In Sequence...
Bought 1993 KLF300b Bayou that 'only needed' cdi box (igniter)
Bought and installed CDI Box... No Spark
Tested all electrics from spark plug back except regulator as I don't know how to test it.
Pick-up (Pulser) coil showed no resistance.
Replaced Pick-up Coil ... No Spark
Pulled out some hair, threw some tools around the garage... No Spark

So My Question, may be stupid but....
Is the regulator-rectifier required to get spark/Start the engine?
If Yes, Why? ( I always thought the charging/starting circuits were mostly independant of one another.)

Please help, I promise NOT to Kiss/talk dirty to/pull out hair/throw tools at those who reply this request.
