There are lots of possible causes for a poor spark not just a poor HT coil earth.

also consider:

Poor stator coil earth

Capacitor condition

Stator to magnets clearance

Stator plate rotated away from ideal position

Points dirty/wrong gap

Poor connections in wiring

Poor earth from motor to frame

Leakage to earth via kill switch or points wiring

MK8 Pursang front wheel should fit in the front end of a M199A. May need work on axle length, axle spacer and brake stay arm.

I think you need different wheel bearings as the axle is thinner

Oh yeah thats right Ross and the Pursang backing plate would need to be sleeved down.
