A big update!

The engine fired up for the first time today laugh

Did the final bit of wiring for the ignition, fixed a couple of minor fuel leaks, (my fault, regulator connections were not done properly) and then thought, I wonder what would happen if I pressed the start button. Well to my surprise it fired up instantly! It cut out soon after as I hadn't at that point connected a permanent positive to the coil but even so, what a magical moment.

Unfortunately, the battery is past its best, so a new one is on order. I started it a few times and it sounds very smooth and very sweet. Need to run the cam in before anything else now but happy days!
