BSA Gold Star misfiring

Brightspark costs 13 pounds . This:  https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/polypropylene-film-capacitors/8829187/    costs 94 pence for a pack of 10, and I think less likely to fail.

And an electronics engineer would not use a small capacitor.

Well, as I say to the missus, "small is relative" and it's the rating that needs to be the prime consideration, but that said, my point was that it wasn't NOS but a relatively recent fitting.
To be fair, it wasn't me who had the mag rebuilt, and nor did I rebuild it, but I wouldn't have used someone who termed themselves an "electronics engineer" to do it anyway.

bigjos:
Well at the end of the day it seems the problem is probably lack of choke on the carburettor. I put my hand over the inlet and it revs up fine, then once it has warmed up properly its fine! Thanks for all your suggestions.
Incidentally the timing was out just a little too
