    Mep-002A Bridge rectifier R1 burnt

    If the regulator is sending excessive control current to CVT1, which is one mode of failure, then it could, as you say, be the problem. If this is the case, if you disconnect the wire from terminal 17 of the regulator and tape its end so it doesn't contact anything, you will prevent the...

    Mep-002A Bridge rectifier R1 burnt

    This resistor is responsible for flashing the field during starting. It is connected to terminals 5 and 6 of board A4. During cranking the exciter field gets 24v from the master switch through diode CR2. The other end of the exciter field at terminal 5 is grounded through the resistor, via...

    Ray is correct that resistor is supplied by the 24v battery, not the regulator. As he said, it should carry current only when the switch is in the start position. Either you're right that the exciter filed resistance is very low, or for some reason it was carrying current to the exciter field...
