Thanks

Hi MAS, check the kill switch isnt on, if thats ok try a new plug, if that fails to spark disconnect the black / white from the Ignition coil and with a multimeter check that it isnt down to earth there.

Have you tried a new spark plug, you may have fouled it puttin around.

Hey Thanks for the help Paul I still havent figured it out, Havent worked on it since posting this either, I will try that and post what I find :bc: I forgot to mention that after putting new plug in if I kick it over normally I have no spark, If kicked hard I have spark

Weak magneto?

my dad was telling me about how his dad used to have an old BSA with a sidecar with a weak magneto, he used to take the spark plug out and warm it up on the stove or using a blowlamp to get it going, the bloke he sold the bike to put a new mag in it and it went well after that

its worth considering, not sure if you can test them or not

Get yourself a manual and test the stator coil against spec and also ignition HT coil...
