Thanks guys. You might find it interesting to read from the beginning Sean. The key was sheared.

Jobs a good un!
That looks a well thought out and engineered puller, might make myself one for next time.
The crank looks to have faired ok too, result!
How bad is the pinion?

She's running. Starting first kick at the moment. Have to try it hot. I did have some doubts about the mag. The rest of my life can get some attention now.
Thanks for all the help.

You say youve done the ignition timing. Is it possible its timed to stroke 3 of both barrels? Easily done.

Sorry Colin, I don't understand. The bike is starting first kick and running strongly. The timing must be pretty right
