Great, fingers crossed all goes well this time. Just checking.....you did clean out all the swarf after your re modeling with the dremmel ?
Obviously start with checking all wires you have disturbed, and the connectors are clean and tight, especially the ones where the leads from the points join the main harness, where the rear brake light wires also join the loom. I assume the engine kill switch on the bars is set to the centre position (run)If after that you still get no spark, test for 12v + on the blue then yellow points wires, using the points plate for the 12v - lead. you should get 12v there with ignition on and kill switch in run position.
Made a lot of progress over the last few days, got the engine back in and built the bike back up, getting oil pressure light go out now after 10 kicks or so which I’m happy with.Just been doing the points gaps and timing , think I’ve got it as best as I can. Filled some fuel in a remote tank and tried to fire her up but not getting a spark. Condensers were working before strip down.Any common things I should be checking? I’ll recheck that something crazy hasn’t happened with the points gaps tomorrow, happy with progress but I’m unsure what to look at regarding the sparks

I had to run mine inside the swinging arm so not to snag anywhere.
Here is the specific part you need to comply with, copied from the regs.The rear registration plate must be lit. Most motorcycles will light the registration plate with a rear position lamp, but some will use a separate registration plate lamp. Some registration plate lamps may be fitted behind the number plate.
