Thanks all I was able to limp it home today after 3 trips to fix it.
Turns out the previous owner disconnected the started but didn't remove it, just took out the electronics for it and the chain. Anyways what happened was i replaced the reg rect to no avail, then tried a whole bunch of different things until I finally got to the bottom of it. Turns out the stator wasn't bolted down and sheared off the connector causing a short. Also fubar'd the stator in the process with peices of metal and what seemed like an old sealent or something all over it. It was so loose that it started machining itself.
Anyways took it apart disconnected everything and rode home on a single battery charge, just barley got her home with oil shooting all over my pants. I'm gonna have a few questions coming but hopefully I have an extra one on one of the spare engines I have.
Thanks everybody who offered to help, you've no idea how much the support meant to me

Just a thought here on reg/rectifiers. There is a company called Oregon Motorcycle parts that sells brand new and very much improved units. He even guarantees them. There is a web site .
