Best way forward is to find a club that run beginner trials and training days, this will give you the chance to meet other riders with similar ability, you can then practice together or as a group and you will start to bounce off each other as you all get better.
As above, before you go any further get a new spark plug and connect it to the HT lead (the wire with the spark plug cap on it) ensure the old plug is removed from the bike.
Rest the new plug connected to the ht lead onto the cylinder head or any metallic serface so that the matalic part of the plug is touching the matalic of the cylinder.
Now kick the bike over and observe the spark or not.
As said above the riders of tomorrow get there kicks from electronic instant gratification. They don't have to build go karts, modify push bikes with bits from the tip to make there own fun.
I am so glad that both my boys have spent the last 10 + years riding and interacting with the trials world.
It's sad to think that we can't sell our sport to tomorrow's riders!
If it turns out to be stator speak to Lamkins they are really good regarding faulty parts and have in the past replaced parts even when outside of the warranty period.
Great times, my son still talks about riding with me like that, he used to come to trials before he was riding and ride between sections and loved the long loops.
I don't know to much about the Sherco, but the 2006 Rev is near the end of the Rev model production ( 2008 was the the last Rev to be made) so the Rev will be near the top of its evolution and was a good bike.
They all have there problems, if you opt for the beta you will need to find out if the clutch casing has been changed as the original casing tended to corrode due to them being magnesium, the replacements are aluminium so if it's been done no more problems, if it has not been done then you will have to budget around the £100.00 mark to replace it.
Hope that helps a little sorry I can not advise on the sherco.

As above, lean condition!
To check-
