Hmmm

Thursday out on bike ...all ok started easy. Adjusted tick over, 20 miles but it lost tick over whilst out. Stopped and restarted no issues a couple of times then when i got home it coughed then refused to restart

Friday cleaned carb. no issues all jets clean. Refitted and started fine but did not ride.

Saturday dead dead dead. Fat spark ( almost too fat) "easy start" in plug hole will not make it even a little pop .

Boyer with original Lucas coils. On switch on ammeter goes to about 6A then drops to 0 slowly. When you kick it over it shows discharge as I would expect

Bloody thing. Any ideas
