Question -
Hope you can help,I have a kawasaki 4-wheeler with a kaw 440 street bike motor on it i didnt put the motor on it. bought it that way i need to know what wires i need to wire so this thing will fire and run any help will be greatly appreciated.it does have points.

Answer -
R the wires from the points 2 the coil there?  If so, then u need a constant 12 volts to the other side of your coil.

Answer
Rectifier/Regulator r what turns your 110 AC current into the 12 volt DC current needed for your machine.  The CDI box controls when the coil(s)send fire 2 the plugs.  The constant 12 volts should come on with your key turned 2 on.  U don't want the voltage there when the bike is off.
