Have you got an insulatiing washer at the bottom of the peg which one part of your points fits on?

Thank you very much for that although i am pleased to say i found the problem to be a previous owner had altered some wire colours which i found only through trial and error.I now have a different problem in that after a few {3-4}prods of the kick start ,the kick stat lever moves but the engine does not turn,as if the cluch is slipping,allthough i am happy to report that i have had her running and she sound great.Thanks,Neil
