I guess it is possible that your problem is burnt out connectors? But I think you would have noticed this already, and will have been disconnecting and reconnecting enough times recently to overcome this.

My problems were many, but primarily the woodruff key that located the flywheel had sheared, upsetting the timing.
But also there were other problems:
The PGM was slightly faulty.
The carbs were missing the brass needle shroud that sits on top of the emulsion tubes.
The battery was faulty but seemed fine.

I got it all sorted in the end.
