The battery charging system isn't functioning. The power drains away from the battery very quickly once started. Hard starting after bike is warm.

You have to check the charging system. These are the components.
Battery
Regulator
Rectifier
Stator
There's a different way to test each. Contact me If you need details. But before you do, you'll need a "multi-meter". A quick test to see if the charging system works. Attach a volt meter to the (+)and(-) terminals of the battery and rev the motor. The voltage should go to at least 14 volts.
Don't forget about the regulator. Does the battery go dead after the bike has been running? If it does, then I would test the stator output.

1976 Kawasaki kh 400 runs and soon as it gets warm starts running on 1 cylinder then then stops the voltage is good when running and the battery is still charged /
