on going electrical problem

[mick56]

I have read of the 1500 carbed Nomads, having the connectors from the 2 stators, burning out at the white plugs under the left hand engine cover. Mine has been doing that for some time, but kept on running good. It dont anymore. I have replaced the connectors, again, and checked the stators for resistance. Also fitted new coils, plugs, leads, and caps. Yet still one of the wires from the inner stator gets hot.I am convinced that is why it runs bad. I am leaning towards an electrical short some place. Next step for me is to pare down the wiring harness from arse end up, looking for a problem. Can anyone who has had the same/ similar problem, let me know what they found please.

I have also read that these bikes are prone to lack a of earth connections. Any help on how to overcome that problem would be appreciated. Thank you. Mick.
