Welcome in Neil
Have a look at the ends of the HT leads where the plug caps screw on as they can corrode & snap the wire inside , also check what condition your 20pin white plug on the wiring loom is in , it'll be behind the left hand side fairing panel

Carbs are therapeutic [emoji4]
Be methodical and it's quite enjoyable stripping/servicing them
