Electrics result.
Result!
Checked the pick up pulse, all ok, decided to see if Z Power had a igniter I could borrow, they had phew, anyway, connected the borrowed item up but let it dangle on the exhaust rather then bolt it on, gave it a spin, result good spark , it must be the igniter 
then a thought, could the earth not be good enough, so I rigged up a temp earth the the fitted igniter, gave it a turn over and YEEESSSSS a spark, it seems the existing item of pain wasnt picking up a good enough earth through the powder coated batt box.
Next step fuel up the bugger, next weekend.
Many thanks guys for all the help and advice given, that what is tops about this forum.
