So got my act together!
Photos of right hand speedo drive leg. If you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjyERLmWX68 you can see where I have tried to measure the play between the leg and the stanchion.
One more post for the 4th photo (doesn't want to let me do 4)

I'm being slow digging them out to photograph them. Soon I promise! Seals from Brooks Barn are double lipped and save having 2 seals as original. ( post by EVGURU in the past for this info). https://brooksbarn.co.uk/products/ariete-fork-oil-seal-kit-ari-078.html I didn't realise this untill after my...

Photos of a part I have from the box of bits for my 250 2c. Does not appear to be for this bike. Does anyone need it? Free to a good home.

Yes.

FYI; No idea of where it came from but the stator on my 250 2c also has a numbered yellow lead. (2 yellow, one green, one white wire).

Mark, very clear. Thanks for the explanation. Some re-timing to do on the ignition then!

Sadly Ian's transducers seems DOA. BUT oil in the cylinders has definitely worked. Got it started today using the blue transducers. Woo bloody hoo! Mark: can you explain why the ignition needs retarding if the transducers don't give enough advance at 6000? I would have thought to advance them. Thanks.

Thanks for all of the advice very much apreciated. A little oil in the cylinders seems to have helped suction/compression. I have an airfilter and transducers coming from Ian Lucas and will try again when I have these. Getting so frustrated I am likely to break something if I carry on! So have walke...

Yes I saw those, and have bought from them before. Rather more than I want to spend at the moment on a bike that does not yet start or is together yet! Thanks to Ian Lucas I have a spare carb body in the way.

Thanks for the helpful comments about this on my post on the wanted section asking for a spare carb.

Thanks, I will try that.

Pretty sure I have the pick up timed correctly
Do not know about the flywheel, is there a way of testing it? Iron things stick to it!
Resistance at the green wire just below 200Ohms.
Thanks

VHBZ22HS thanks

Just an update: Life has got in the way so little progress in the intervening time! Engine rebuilt by Benjy Straw. FYI; Tried a 500 airfilter and it does not fit for me! Have been trying to start the engine and the same as before the rebuild. Have tried the HPI system and managed to get hold of orig...

Somehow I have managed to jam the idle mixture screw in one of my carbs. Completely stuck and will not turn even though applying enough force to twist the screwdriver blade: can just get a small amount of back and forth motion before it locks up. I have tried a little heat to the carb body and penet...
