Not ordinarily...... the charge system would compensate for the low output. Unless the reg/rec was burnt out too, or the stator. That would provide a scenario where common voltage could drop so far.
That being said, I've never known a faulty stator/Reggie rec/battery to melt wiring, not on it's own.
From what I've read .... yes I've skipped through a little.
You've got more than 70VAC between the pins from the stator resistance between pins is between 0.2 - 0.5
You tested the reg rec and found a dead diode, as the system wasn't charging properly it will have killed the battery.
Which wire was melted, was it?
