Hi cbrfrenzie...I missed your post,I also thought of trying that aswell!!!!

ok gents....i found the problem.....the pick up isnt strong enough to operate at the rpm the engine is cranking at (maybe 20-30 rm less then the ktm) i took an old pick up,cranked the engine and waved a piece of tool steel past it with a plug in the engine and one in the coil cap and sure enough everytime i passed the pick u i got a spark....so now i need to find a more powerful pick up or make the existing one stronger by drilling a hole in the back and putting a small strong magnet directly on the back of the core

sounds good... youre now on the straight way to the goal... 8-)

The oem ktm 300 starter is notoriously bad. Please get the uprated 2013 + version . It has 410w of power as opposed to the 350ish watts of the pre 2013 starter .
Also , check the bendix and gears. You might need to re-shim .
:)
It looks like a very interesting modification . I would have used a bigger , 600w starter if I were you .
