cheer's for the replies fella's.
upto now ive disconnected the cut out wire from the end of the magneto, ive took the pickups out and cleaned them, ive cleaned the slip ring, new plugs,
i didnt check the points as it was getting dark, not changed the ht wires, but will check them today.
the safety screws, where exactly would they be fitted, ive had a quick look but couldnt see any screws, i just hope it's got some fitted.
set tappet's, all a ok, i fitted the ht lead's with the pickup that sits closest to the cylinder/barrel going to the kick start side, im pretty sure thats the way it was fitted.
last night while trying to start it i did notice that the carb flooded due to a sticky float needle i think, and maybe petrol has got inside the points, would this cause the no spark ??.
cheer's for the advice guy's, at least ive got a few more idea's to try. just hope i can get it going without having to buy a magneto. i will let you all know the outcome, all the best fella's, chicago
