I looked for a couple minutes but couldn't really see much. Any thoughts would be great, thank you.

that motor,it has 2 regulator rectifiers - back of the motor - swap the grey wire with the other rectifier - it's probably the rectifier
grey wire isn't "hot feed" - grey wire is tach signal
purple wire is ignition
black is ground
not uncommon for those to go bad
check charging system - make sure it's working properly
the high output charging systems,they use 2 regulator/rectifiers
