  Trying to find a loose wire Maybe Rectifier

I have an earlier 4 X 2 Gator and it starts and then it will run right along holding the throttle half way and then it just quits like someone shut off the switch. If I go back later on and try to start it eventually it starts and runs for a while and then shuts off with the same symptoms. All the lights work when it shuts off like this so I am assuming that there is power getting to the switch? I am assuming that there is a loose wire somewhere. I have cleaned, jiggled, pushed, prodded, pulled out the wires, cleaned them and put them back. I also pulled the rectifier wires and cleaned them. I forgot to plug back in the wires to the rectifier and tried to start it and it started. I ran is as before with the throttle half open and again it just shut off like someone turned it off.

Question 1: Anyone had this problem before?
Question 2: What does the rectifier do? I figured that it would not start if it wasn't plugged in.....

Any ideas? My wife wants me to get rid of it saying that it is too much trouble and it is in the way so any help would probably keep my marriage healthy and increase my wife's belief in my mechanical skills..... Smile

I put a new fuel filter in it, new fuel pump and cleaned the carb. I'm just thinking that it is electrical because when it dies it just immediately shuts off. No spitting or sputtering or acting like it wants to try to keep going.

I have had it running with the rectifier plugs unplugged and it ran for a while and then it quit like it normally did. Why does it need a rectifier if it runs without one?
