Its not an electrical problem. have definately ruled that one out now.

Fitted new piston rings today, its still a pig to start from cold but they have made a big difference in performance the bike feels much more pokey and responsive.

whilst i had the barrel off this time though i noticed that there was quite a big step at the top of the cylinder so i think the barrel might be on its last legs which would point towards a compression problem again.

The barrel has already been bored out to plus 60 thou so i think the barrel is on its last legs really. however as the bike works a treat when warmed up i think il leave it till next winter and replace the barrel with a new or recon'd one and maybe also do a complete engine rebuild at the same time, new oil seals/gaskets etc.

thanks for all the help guys. cheers
