Default Battery not recharging.

So with the help of an electrical meter and someone who know what they're doing, I came to the conclusion that the reason my battery isn't recharging is because of a faulty voltage regulator, not the stator like I thought. Now normally I'd just look up the part in the parts breakdown and buy the part from GoKartsRUs, but I looked that the one I have to replace, and the one of my other Carbide, and they're completely different! So I don't know if I should get it or not because I don't know if it'll be the right one. The first two pictures are of the one that needs to be replaced and the third one is the one on my other buggy. The one that needs to be replaced has two wires that come out of it; one is the main plug, if you want to call it that, and the other is the wire that runs to the auto choke. Could someone tell me the difference between the two regulators and where to get it?

Yours is set up for providing DC to the CDI. The other one is only for charging the battery. If one connector has four blades and the other one has three, I have a used spare. PM me for cost.

Ok... So can someone direct me to a place online that I can buy the correct voltage regulator?

Where's the picture of your regulator connectors so we can match it up?

If it has a 3-lug and a 4-lug connector on the rectifier, I have one. Send me a PM if interested or get one from Buggy Depot.

This forum blocks links to Buggy Depot, so I cannot send you to the correct device. I have a spare one for half the price if you are interested. PM me...
