Unless you have a schematic and other info don't test the regulator/rectifier. For now just unplug and test the stator.
stator read about 13 to 14 ohms... hmm But charged the battery, ran it and it tested at about 12 volts

12 volts is the battery itself (low I might add) , if the system is charging it should be close to 14 volts at 5,000 RPM.
Sounds like your running off the battery alone until it gets well below 12 volts then dies.
(As stated earlier, my bike would crank with as little as 8 volts- BUT was charging)
