Voltage regulator is another name for rectifier!!FYI- voltage regulator/rectifiers have fins for cooling, so if the other black thing you have doesn't have fins/heat sink it's not it. If you think the push button is bad and want to test - starting by touching the wires is okay, just verify which one of the 4 wires goes to the CDI as that will be the kill wire that goes to the green switch, the other wire to that switch is a ground wire- when these 2 wires are connected it shorts out the CDI from firing.
You should have only 1 reservoir hose- if you take a pic of the other hose in question we might be able to figure out what & where it goes.
