Could the starting issue be the result of not connecting the hose to the vacuum control button on the cowling? This probably explains the high revs as I didn't have the cover on with the hose connected when I was testing it.
I can't obtain a replacement ignition module locally, so would need to order one in and then find it isn't part of the problem. The NOS coil I purchased could also be faulty.
More testing tomorrow...
