    so...

    well I can't work out why the spark is so weak. Full battery, new plug, new coil, all wired up fine. What a waste of time

    Its unclear from all this if you have actually got it going properly yet?
    You probably had an "automatic" charger as opposed to a manual charger.
    The auto is a charge and maintain type and needs a half healthy battery to work ie, it wont charge a dead flat battery. You use them on vehicles that dont get used too often, leave them hooked up and will keep the battery topped up.
    A manual charger requires you to disconnect after battery fully charged.

    Well I left it on from about 4 yesterday till this morning and it had bubbles in it and generally looked full of life but put it in the bike this morning and only made the slightest bit of difference but still didn't start once.

    Have you still got the kickstart lever? Is the plug looking wet?

    Yer, plug feels wet when I take it out. Wish the kickstart hadn't been pulled out and the whole plugged, it's getting tiring running up and down the driveway to no avail haha

    Time to get on the net and learn about the principles behind points/coil ignition systems and then bring some understanding to your problem.

    Just one thing, the spark is happening between the engine it's earthing on and the plug rather than the electrode and the bridge. Is that right?

    Plug should be pretty wet with all the turning over and bump starting your doing? You would need to keep cleaning it anyway - wet carbon deposits will suck your spark away. A weak spark when your testing it out of the engine might be from a poor ground connection - hard to kick and hold the plug to ground on at the same time. Sure its not blocked carb jet? If you can see some sparking and you have fuel I would have thought the engine would cough more than it is. If the timing was wildly out you would get the occaisonal backfire.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    Well it's hard to explain without a video because it's like it's firing only in just sort of stops as the bike slows down. Full throttle gets slightly better results but still never really takes off. When I had it running, it was constantly the same as it is now, untill about 1.5 a second into the engine turning over as I drop the clutch it would just take off. So It's probably spark but it's all wired well, full battery, coil fine, points clean, carb clean.
