Just to follow up after you good people gave so much advice - although you will laugh at me!
Having done just about everything that I know to get a bike working, including fitting a re-jetted Mikcarb in place of the Amal, in desperation I re-timed the Boyer by turning the stator in the opposite direction to where it had been before. The bike no starts with a tap on the kick start and goes like a rocket!
(Those of you who know Boyers will know that you start by setting it to TDC and then turn it clockwise to the correct advance. Well I'd turned it anti-clockwise at some point, i.e. after TDC!)
What was originally wrong, I don't know.
