Kawasaki F5 Stator Loom Reconditioning

vs160201-002

This project is part of the reconditioning of a 1971 Kawasaki F5 350 enduro I picked up a few months ago.  I’ve  been casually looking for one of these bikes for some time, and a friend found this one last fall.  Though I would have preferred a ’72 or ’73 F9, the successor to this model, in reality they are virtually identical except for the decals.

The bike had weak spark when I got it and I tracked the problem down to the stator, which I repaired using parts from a spare stator that came with the bike.  The attached video illustrates the cleaning and reconditioning of the stator loom wiring (not repairing the stator itself).
