3c no spark while cranking, spark when not cranking.

I once saw a Lav, which had suffered some very poor wiring mods, which included the removal of the indicators, the ignition was working through the indicator relay when the switch was inadvertently turned "left" this meant that one of the plugs would spark constantly with the crank not turning, very frustrating, took ages to sort out.

Sounds like your bike has caught Vince's bikes disease.
Check what the battery voltage is dropping to when cranking
We can give us a push tomorrow probably need some exercise after the breakfast anyways
 
I am coming to the conclusion I have a parasitic lose somewhere in my bike,I have disconnected the Cigarette type plug I have on the dash to see if that fixes it.If I had power in my shed I would defiantly have one of those C Bus trickle chargers attached to all my bikes that have battery's.Hope a charge fixes it Marty,the last time I pushed a bike,WLA race bike at the Barry I luckily shoulder rolled after it fired and left me leaning on nothing at full sprint,thats on bitumen with me in T shirt and shorts.Resulted in bloody knees,bloody dangerous these old bikes.
 
Battery voltage 11.6.  That will do it.  Strange that the starter was spinning over so fast.  Blab, when i had a spark plug dangling in the lead, the second i stopped cranking, a spark would appear as the motor was still turning. 

Battery on charge, should be ok in the morning. 

Love some electrickery over a beer.
