Beginning to burn-out on engine cleaning, so pulled the wiring harness out. One of those that's been modified, jumpered, bypassed, rearranged, re-taped with vinyl electrical tape that has harded, left its gooey adhesive on the wires, and is unraveling. Also, much of it has been painted over with black spray paint. After getting the tape off, discovered kerosene is good at removing the goo. Then acetone to remove spray paint and kerosene film. About half-way done with that. Really glad I'm doing is as places get discovered where insulation is burned, hardened, or cut off. Very little of it makes sense compared to the diagrams.
Decided it is already so bad that the harness needs re-done with negative ground (already have a Sparkmoto reg-rec). The Lucas zenier will be retained as a hood ornament. Meridan used about 14 gauge wires for much of this. That would be great on my old GL1000 300 Watt systems, but the whimpy Lucas single-phase 120 Watt shouldn't need wires this big (kick start, so no starter draw). Many will probably be down-sized. I'll probably retain many of the Lucas bullet-style connectors, though. They seem to still be in good shape, just need removed and re-soldered into the new harness. Making a new points harness as the old one had stiffened up and had too many scars in the insulation.
Becoming quite a mix of old and new. Keeping the points (actually cleaned and refurbished the set that was in it). Has zero lights on it, so they will be a combination of aftermarket and repurposed GoldWing parts.
Then back to more cleaning down in the fins of the heads.
