One other thought - have you tried new plugs.  I have found NGK plugs can spark ok outside the engine but not when fitted.  Something to do with the unglazed insulator fouling.  The fouling can happen quite quickly as it's a two stroke.  A hotter plug can help if you are not riding it hard.  I always fit new plugs at the start of the year (usually SORN the bike over winter) as it will start on the old plugs but not restart after the first run.  New plugs and problem resolved.
