Project 42 has an issue with its stator wiring. As we can see, vermin have seen fit to nibble on the rubber wire guide, located where the wiring exits the engine case. Surprisingly, they didn't touch the wires themselves, which would have brought this repair to another level. While the cover is removable, it's NLA from Honda, but I happen to have an old stator assembly on hand in my parts stash.
(Below) Getting the cover off the wire bundle requires removing the end connector (the wires are not removable at the stator). In this case I simply cut off the wire connector, as I'll be hard-wiring the stator/R/R, eliminating the 3-wire connector, a potential weak point in the system. I then pull the old sheath & cover off and slide the replacements into place.

(Below) When I make this modification I add about six inches of excess wire to give plenty of room to route the wire bundle and make future cut-and-splice repairs possible. I don't have any yellow wire of the correct gauge so I'll use this red. Today I'll use these handy and effective solder & seal wire connectors.
(Below) Here's my completed repair which is then taped and routed. I gently heat the newly taped portion which allows me to bend and shape it behind the fuel pump. This fix is complete.
