Hiya Grumpy,

Ok went and got myself some Feeler gauges so that everything was gapped properly, have put it back together (minus the tank) and tested the spark again this is what happens.
when i put the plug as the manual says 1/4 inch away from the engine and give it some pulls NO SPARK !
If i put the plug touching the engine and give her some pulls i get a little blue spark no cracking noise.
have tried 3 spark plugs one which is new i get the same result.
I followed the manual for setting points and correct wiring positions for condenser, i gapped the flywheel as per manual.
any suggestions on how to get a stronger spark ?
or do you think this spark may be enough to start it ?
thanks mate
Pete
