As a newB, it took a lot of time to understand how to replace the rectifier. Now that I understand, wanted to summarize.
This is just a summary of what is already posted here cheap regulator/rectifier upgrade! All the Credit should go to Nick and others. I've used their image for reference, as I've not swapped the rectifier yet.
Original Honda Rectifier is a 4PIN rectifier (un-regulated) with Green being ground - Yellow and Pink taking in AC from the Alternator and Red/Red-Wh giving out un-regulated output. This works along with a 12V regulator, which we don't need after replacing the rectifier.
The original Honda regulator has 3wires:
Green is Ground
Yellow is AC
Black - 12V
Kohler part number 25-755-03 - This is a 12 V regulator-rectifier which is rated 15 amp.
Rectifier Pin wiring - I couldn't upload or add a image through URL
Yellow and Pink can go to AC1 or AC2
After you rewire the new Rectifier, it should look like this - Thanks to Richard
Regulator
Get rid of the Regulator, as the new Rectifier is a regulator-rectifier. Disconnect all the wiring, and Tape it off, as Yellow is live (AC) from the alternator and Black is also 12V live.
Here is the post from Richard which shows before and after
Hope I've summarized everything.
