Following rebuild engine back in frame and a battle with carb air box , all seemed to be going well BUT having a bit of aggro with the loom around air filter box area, it's the original loom and has obviously hardened into it's position over the years any tips on how to make it more malleable/ pliable to allow some connections to actually reach. A gentle application with heat gun springs to mind but are there other tricks?
Other than purchase a new loom 🤣

When I was fitting an engine loom on a car I put the loom in our conservatory for a couple of hours it helped but it was a new loom.
Not sure how well it works on 40 year old plastic.

Bill, given the gremlin headaches of loom problems, and the tendency to strike only when at the furthest point from home, surely the best answer is to treat the bike to a new one?
Sheathings become brittle and fail, wires become corroded and fail, connectors cease to connect. Never heard of how to effectively reverse the first two, and often the 3rd is like surgery on an 80yo.

Like your logic, this machine has fought me all the way and chasing my tail electrically doesn't enthrall me!
Bitten the bullet, new loom on order 👍, must be at least a week that DS haven't had an order from me ! 🤣
