I bought and threw away 2 of the harbor freight ones. They're junk. Once you've learnt how to use an analog meter, you won't go back to a digital meter.
I'm not sure what's wrong with the link but if you search for "Tekpower YX360TreB" on the Amazon site it will pop up. It's a lot of meter for 15 bucks...

I prefer to use analog meters for most bike stuff. I have this one from Amazon and I use it more than any other I have and I have several...

I'm looking for a local shop to rewind them. In the meantime I send people to Custom Rewind in Birmingham, Alabama 800-798-7282. They rewind rotors and stators for most bikes.

In the 20+ years I was a bike mechanic, I never saw a bad rotor I couldn't diagnose with an ohm meter. I suppose it's possible but I've never seen it... Sometimes you get the symptoms of a bad rotor and it's a problem with the brushes or the slip rings on the rotor are corroded. That's one...
Try holding that straw for 24 hours. Eventually the liquid will run out. Also gas has much less surface tension that water. One more thing to consider. It's rare but it can happen sometimes when an engine is tilted to the side, puddled oil in head will get over the tops of the lave guide...
I've seen the wires to the brushes develop high resistance. It wouldn't hurt to pop the cover off the alternator and check the brushes as well as the resistance in the wires.

I've found that using Chevy V* condensers and mounting them up by the coils rather than down on the beaker plate works very well. Not only are they a better condenser that last a lot longer, they're way cheaper...

I like to use fuse blocks that take the blade type fuses since you can get them almost anywhere. I know we should always carry a few spare fuses but, we don't always do that...

There's still gas in the lines. It's enough to cause the carbs to flood but not a lot. It's still worth trying to park the bike on the center stand to see if it makes a difference...

Try parking it on the center stand if you're going to leave it for a day or two. The tilt from the side stand can cause older worn carbs to flood a little over time...

These corrode over the years and that corrosion acts like a heating element. It's not uncommon for an old fuse block to melt. It's best to just replace it and not worry about why...

It's also possible you unplugged a ground wire somewhere. If the handlebar switch doesn't ground properly, you won't even get a click from the starter relay. I first saw that problem on a bike with black painted handle bars....

Most charging system problems are in the wiring but that's no guaranty that's the problem. Article #18 here is a good place to start.
