OK SO UPDATE!!!
I picked up a parts twin today.
Changed the coil over and put it all back together. It started off doing the same thing BUT not running on the rear cylinder. kept persisting and now it is starting on first pull and running nice and smooth. It is now a good runner. Shut it down and restarted it a few times. Started on the first pull every time.
Seems like I had the first known coil with a faulty FRONT lead!
The machine I picked up today has a very good body but no wheels and the engine is seized solid. I'll be taking the engine off and using the body for my resto.
If anyone in SA needs any parts I have left (Metal cowling or busted and fragile plastic cowling, painted handles, seized engine, carby, body with crack on side let me know and you can have it free (IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT FOR TO GET YOUR MACHINE RUNNING FOR A COLLECTION AND NOT TO RESELL FOR PROFIT).
Thanks Blumbly and Vccomm for your help!
