Yeah CJ and Tom, tomorrow already, wife is in Spain so I am batching, had a doctors appointment plus domestics duties I had forgot about, so didn't get much done this afternoon.
What I did do was top up the oil, found a leak around the relief valve, fitted new copper washers so will check again tomorrow, found another leak from the sump plug also.
Couldn't help myself so put petrol in the tank and kicked over to see what response I got, response was not much other than a little back fire out of the exhaust.
Kick start leg is not all that strong any more, so will set up the roller starter tomorrow afternoon and see what happens.
Back fire out the exhaust suggests to me timing is late, but I also have a suspicion that the oil may have dried up around the bores from the time the engine has sat resulting in lack of compression , although one cylinder seems to have more compression than the other note to myself need to recheck valve clearances.
Roller start will help in what is happening. reduces my exhaustion at least, there are a myriad of things that could be wrong, so one step at a time.
I pride myself on the fact that after rebuilds I usually get a start first kick or hit of the starter, so this has been a bit of disappointment 
.
Must admit it is starting to look good to me, at least, with the exhaust system and tank fitted.

One thing I have to do is find some heat resistant insulation for the tacho cable, don't want something that looks bulky and out of place, ie I want wrap the cable not the exhaust, so may be the wrap ends up about 25mm long.
