Battery brand new, Stator brand new, Regulator brand new.
I am going to change the plugs this afternoon and check what its does.
Also need to check carb settings as it was disturbed when my son cleaned the carbs. Possiable fault. What would be the best settings on carb and best way to set

Hi the problem was with the spark plugs. The previous owner has installed the wrong type of plug. The bike now start first time in the morning and runs perfectly.
Thanks for all your posts.
