Any ideas or is it get the control unit checked out. Gone over connections etc and cant' find a nice simple solution

Remember on the fireblades the coils have a permenant 12v to them (provided stop switch closed) the coils are fired by applying a neg to the yell+blue or blue+yell

which engine is it ?

All working again------huge thanks to those who sent me advice !!

Special thanks to Andy Bates from AB performance who spent a sunday afternoon on the phone helping me to sort the problem out----he sent me out a loom, pulse generator and ignition control unit to help me sort out the fault, only wanting payment on me finding the problem and returning the items not used ------------also he helped me with the carbs set up after the spark prob was sorted

Once again a great example of locost builders at its best
