+1 on the loose wire/connection. After that i'd look at the regulator.

You've not said what kind of stator you have and how it's wired. I think we're presuming it's an electronic kit with a vespa type regulator. If so then is is wired for AC or DC? If AC then you'll have a wire that goes to the reg from the stator, usually yellow. If you have power on that wire then you need to identify the terminal that takes the regulated power out of the reg to the loom, often a red and it should also have an earth.
Now depending on what loom you have standard or simplified ? You may have one or more wires connected together to carry that power up to the headseat. There may or may not be a junction box, check the connections there.
A standard loom will usually have a brown and a purple carrying power.
