Ok Dave, a weak spark will certainly make for difficult starting and poor running. Shows up when opening the throttle, especially under load.
You have swapped out a lot, except for magnetic rotor?
These days I test the magnetism of every rotor that pass through my hands.
I have a jar of m6 nuts.
I lightly hand engrave the result of how many on each tested rotor(then highlight with paint marker or texta). All other info on rotors is factory stamped so there is no mix up with a hand engraved figure.
I have noticed massive variations of magnetism on identical to look at OLD ROTORS.
It is no problem if you don't have a puller yet and want to compare or confirm your suspicions.
You can see how many nails or whatever while it is still mounted on a steel crank end.
I have noticed little to no difference whether testing its capacity while mounted on a crank or removed.
I also include an earth wire between all ignition components when I make harnesses.
Hope this helps a bit?
Have fun

Top shock mounts rearward,
Chain adjustment at s/arm pivot,
Oil tank in backbone 4/stroke,
Engine cradle mounts looks like it would house a BSA engine?
Long backbone,
Could it be a very early BSA/CCM?

Not a bad looking bike for the money though, wonder if they'll be ADR compliant...
Would be worth a try if they do?
So with a proven engine design, reliability depends on quality control, like,, "class of fits",
"Metallurgy" and "electronics" for control, such as electrically operated power valve,,,
I personally love the vacuum operated PV, like on Maico's and KTM's etc

That sounds very lucky.... that one, very lucky 
So loud when it happens. Spectacular releasse of energy when it goes down.
We got off light with this one. In the last one it was bigger than Texas, it blew over 150 meter boxes to peices... It didn't just fire the light globes out of my ceiling it actually fired the baynet socket fittings out of the gyprock. Power GPOs out of walls, fried everything. Took them over four days to get us up and running again that time, without meters for weeks
. They rebuilt all our boxes with smart meters etc ...only 6 hours out on this one...
A magpie blew that big transformer in the first pic 15 years ago.
He had a nice warm buzzy nest up in the top of it. Used to think your flirting with danger mate.... anyway what happened, he had found a nice piece of wire and took it home to adorn his nest... kablamo! Feathers over a hundred foot radius

Yeah yeah... a couple of blackouts.... lost two freezer contents, twice. Inconvenience was the least. .. fired all of the light globes and sockets out of the ceiling in one event.... yada yada yada..
So I knew if I bought this aldi genny that it would be cheaper and less way less inconvenience in the long run..... drag it out. Fuel it.. run it... drain it every few months... just like tonight... so when no shit happens? Reverse Karma .... dont forget to think.... thanks mick
