Alternator stator.
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 3:37 pm
I have been inspecting various bits and pieces prior to a major rebuild. - I have had this bike in a box for about 25 years and reckoned it was about time to either rebuild it or pass it on.
The alternator stator is in a bit of a bad way. It looks as though the original cause of the bike being laid up might be the melted green wire in the picture. Although the broken kick-start boss in my previous message would not have helped. (possibly the two are connected. I have a vision of the previous owner kicking the engine furiously as the alternator shorts out)
The yellow cables are hard and cracked and will obviously need to be replaced. Can I use suitably sized two core or is there a particular specification I should look for given that the wire will be subject to heat and vibration in the casings. Any suggestions or sources for the wire would be appreciated. I am in the UK, but presumably could get it posted from US if necessary.
Thanks
Chris.
