Thanks for the replies chaps, i been running it on a big car battery so its spinning over like a monster, I had another look today I checked the plug gaps there new but you never know
the coil resistance was 2.7 across the coil connectors on both coils the manual suggests it should be between 1.8 & 2.53 and across the ht leads it was 38.4 and 37.5 the manual suggests 12 to 18 but the manuals suggested values are at 20'c and it was probably about 1'c in the garage today ill need to remove the coils and leave them in the house over night for a more accurate test, could it be the Ignitor unit under the seat I've seen these completely fail in the past and occasionally fail when they get hot but would it put the spark timing out?
I would of thought if i squirt fresh fuel into the bore it should fire a couple of times at least even if the carbs are gummed up, Ill have a look at the download section and see if there's a better manual, I cant help think I'm missing something simple i had a chat to the friend i bought it from he described the same symptoms, it was running fine 45 minutes before he changed the oil, filters and plugs then nothing!
