Hi All,
here's the link for the impatient readers.

After much delayed waitings to diagnose my bike,
and to get it to at least start, I have finally at least got it starting.
Note, not running properly, but starting...I used a lubricant (INOX, like WD 40)
as a kick-start. I chatted about using Aero-start elsewhere,
and after a initial failed start, this stuff got me running right up,
so my next issue is definitely fuel related...
The key failure was the magneto. I had no resistance Blue to Black.
Or open circuit. Same as with leads apart.
Take note of the 318 reading half way through.
This is what it should be Blue to Black, and will be my memorial to
my magneto's validity.
Something I realised, is that the %$*(~! hole where the electrical wires
enters the motor, caused about two months worth of bad starts for me.
My bike came with no plug for this hole, but Warren provided me
with a plug for the replacement mag, you'll see me hold it up with my fingers.
I remember doing a engine degrease (water and all),
and straight after that the bikes performance degraded on a
gradual down-hill slope.
I recently installed a new magneto and sealed it with Silicone.
You'll see the gasket repaired with this as well.
Along the route of doing the install, I took shots with my Mobile phone
at key points of the install.
I did this in my small bedroom as I have no garage, so the red thing is a
plastic tarp on the floor.
This gave me still footage to combine into a video.
Many thanks to all those who gave me advice.
I took the advice of Papasun, to use business cards to seperate
the arms of the magneto, and ibdennyak's to use a sealant.
Its been raining alot here, so this will be key to keeping it running
in the wet.
There's davidsis ibdennyak eltatertoto (for vid inspiration),
anyone else who's answered my questions/given my big mouth ideas advice,
thanks, this is what makes this site great.
I think next time I'll use a my pocket digital camera,
this vid lacks picture quality, but makes up for it with "artistry".
Anyone hard of sight, run it on smaller size I guess.
My only feedback so far was "I can't see it clearly".
I ran it full screen and looks ok to me.

Any feedback/comments ?
Any technical faults in my install ?
You may notice the muffler changes from chrome
to black (high Temp Black Paint), as this is my original wiring with the Kill switch wired in.
Notice big chunks of solder.
Here's how this was wired.
Red (kill switch) to White (motor)
Black (kill switch) to Black Motor and Black CDI
Blue (motor) to Blue CDI.
I painted the whole bike black, even cables so you have
to analyse it, to see the colours through the black paint.
The new wiring has no kill switch, no solder, to simplify trouble shooting.
I am going to wire in kill switch across blue to black,
as heard that its better to short than over-load the magneto.
Stay Positive, It Helps.
