Tricky here, in my experiance repair/rebuild generally is better as after market or replacement parts are mostly of a better quaitity than the origanal components. However you also have to way up the cost involved and your situation. I've had 4 bikes and 2 of them were engine jobs. 1 was a rebuild and the other was a replacement engine. Both were good after each repair, however this may have been due to mantainance carried out after the bikes were put back together.  Either way should be good as long as you maintain the bike well after the repair. I am not tell you what to do in your cercomstance. If it was me I would rebuild, but the decission is yours.

Thank you but after measuring the forks mine are 750mm from axle to top of the fork. my have a slight hieght problem but I will look into it anyway. Thank you on your speedy replie to my fix Tricky Trev  

Tricky here, if no current you mean no spark. Then I would suggest checking power to the coil. If ok also check the engine stop switch on the handle bars. I have known honda stop/engine kill switches to short out on the handle bars causing a no start. Had this happen on my CM250 custom approx 5yrs ago. Hope this helps
