In the sealed bag with all the brackets & fittings was this Grommet.

Could it be an item used on different models that the exhuast also fits so it replaces the square one in silencer pipe two?

Nope, never had that bit in the box Ted, everything that was in with the exhausts is in the photo above. I wonder what that is 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Did you check the ohm-readings on the 3 stator wires? That will tell you something. The regulator is more likely to fail...
I will google how to do that

To do it right and making sure all the bits are fitted correctly you should remove lower crankcase.
Kickstart knuckles are like chromed rocking horse poo to find

I will Bryan, at the moment the yellow & blue wires from the points are disconnected . it's not connected as I used the test lamp method to do static timing.
I intend to find tune that before I try first start up.

The least common no charge is the generator,
Most common is bad connection
Next is regulator, especially electronic ones

Thats what i remember, rubber boot in space at top right of battery as you look at it.

Ted, before you try running the motor check that the blue and yellow from points are plugged in inside that boot, several times i have been caught out when i have mad last minute alterations somewhere and one of thos has pulled out so it only fires on 2!
