Update as follows:
I did actually find I was getting a very weak spark. Changed one of the plug lead caps as the screw was corroded the coil lead cores were corroded so I trimmed them back a gnats and cleaned the coil "pins" as they were corroded.
I decided to swap out the regulator just in case .
Cleaned the carbs out and it started after about 10 kicks .
Once I got it started found the rev counter didn't work either. I have read this could be caused by a faulty voltage regulator also.
So I recon the root cause of the "non running" was the voltage regulator and the secondary failures were the CDI & rev counter.
Still a few more bits to do but now making pretty good progress.
Cheers all.
