Check all the pick up point on the crankshaft sprocket. Make sure one is not damaged

Have seen them damaged in past. Have you compression tested it. I also had one that had a dodgy pin in the 2 connector blocks behind the battery. When connected it pushed the pin out of the block and would not run.
