Ok so I've decided to go with an electric decomp....I will dump it into the kips section of the cylinder (which I haven't bored/taped/machined a seat for the copper washer yet) I've received the KTM loom section so I will whip the cylinder off tomorrow and do the work to finish the decomp fitting and if I got enough time drop the engine back on and fire it up off the starter motor :-)

ok update.....got it all back together.....kick started it first off to make sure the flywheel was in the right spot and the KTM cdi was happy.....It fired right up.....felt heaps more snappy on the throttle.....Right...so ive made an improvement here....next,starting it off the starter motor...No joy....ok so i thought lets have a look here...motor seems to be turning over fast enough alright no doubt about that,no horrible crunch's or abnormal gear meshing sounds,just a nice electric start crank over sound much like the new whoopie cushions......seems my engineering is up to scratch :-)....i took a good look at the KTM wiring diagram again to make sure there no crank signal or anything like that from the button to the CDI.....nope nothing....i left the spark plug in and connected a new one to the coil lead and cranked it....no spark......give it a kick,i got spark....but i did notice you have to give it a big kick(normal for starting a 500 i guess)....a half arsed kick....no spark.....Ok so ive come to the conclusion that i need to check the air gap for the pick up to flywheel.....i will need to mill or drill and inspection window in the cover to do this so i can see it in its working position......I cant complain so far as the whole set up so far has given me no trouble retrofitting onto this engine,there was always bound to be some sort of spanner in the works! stay tuned fella's....im on the home stretch!
