02 gti

Have had my 02 GTI running really well for past 3-4 weeks, i have cleaned the carbs replaced a bad gasket in the carbs and replaced an exhaust gasket, all was well till today. It ran fine at 1st then as the day progressed it started surging. Lots of power/speed to a loss of power/speed back to lots of power/speed and back again. Feels like its missing, so i replaced the plugs but this did not help. Any suggestions? Previous problem of bogging down but has run great the past 3-4 weeks

disconnect red wire from rectifier. Easy possibility, and if surging goes, then replace it, if not, think its a fuel delivery thing. CHeck/clean the fuel selector, inline filter, and if no go, pull carb again.

Would a bad rectifier cause the battery to die also? I forgot to mention that in the previous post.

Yes, the rectifier charges the battery wen ur runnin the ski, hence ur battery could die

Is there a way to test the rectifier to see if it is bad? If i remove the red wire from the rectifier and it solves the problem does it mean that the rectifier is bad for sure? Is there any way to test the rectifier to make sure it is the problem?
