Nametab were still doing rebores etc less than a year ago, but I think they have stopped selling spares. They do seem to know what they're about with 2 strokes.

I think I may have suggested Nametab in Redditch. Simon there will sort you out.

Velo owners tend to advocate "taking the bike for a walk". Plug(s) out, first gear and push it around till the oil is flowing nicely.

I have to admire your persistence.
The NMM won't have it as they're British only.
Shop display sounds favourite. One selling beard wax and tattoo enhancing cream perhaps?

I think you can still get easy-start in the UK. http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/fuel-oil-additives/bradex-easy-start-300ml
It might help to narrow down your problem although you do seem to have addressed most things......

2 strokes do like a bit of back pressure so you may be doing it no favours by leaving the pipe off.
Maybe it's never run and was designed only as an ornament?

I'm with LAB. Used ordinary silicone for years. Any excess inside gets burnt off but between the pipe and head seems to survive well, and is easy to dismantle.
Gun gum is horrible stuff (or at least was in the 1960s when I tried to use it on Mini exhausts and the like).

If the ring ends are polished they must be butting up. I assume there is a pin to stop them rotating?

You'll find manuals here: http://www.pdfmotomanual.com/index.php?r=site/page&view=manuales&order=t&key=H&make=1846&lang=ENG
Although this has been reported as an unsafe site I haven't had any problems with it.
Caveat emptor.......
