Yea, as long as you can turn the engine over.

Top Tip:- Do NOT touch the engine with any body part when cranking it over. If it does spark, you won't need to see it, you WILL feel it

So 10 days since the last reply....do we have an update

Update on this ,  I've discovered the 3 white wires going to the regulator from the plug that connects to the stator wires was melted and corroded, unsure as to what component has failed or if it's just old wiring, but I'm struggling to find out the correct wire I need so gonna bypass the plug and connect the 3 white wires from stator straight to regulator via the spade terminals ,  and see what happens, I've also tried getting a reading from the other 2 wires from stator leads, and so far got nothing,  I know this is to do with ignition but not sure I was testing it right with the multimeter. or I was and the 2 coils next to stator are  the issue , 

Hes started another thread in the workshop section now Jimmy "Three White Wires"
