To test the reg and stator, remove the loom grey from the reg. Connect a headlight lamp between this vacant connector & a good earth and start the engine. If the lamp lights the problem is with your wiring.
If it doesn't, disconnect the stator grey and connect this to the test lamp. If the lamp now glows (may blow depending on revs) the reg is at fault, if it doesn't the stator is.

PS. as the horn & starter are off the battery, your brake light and indicators should also work, unless there is another problem.

Is it a 20/20 carb? I'm running a 115 main at the minute.
