We've managed to fix the problem with the help of the old forum and Cornwall and Bristol Club technical articles. The problem was the dynamo had become demagnetised probably through lack of use. Removed the dynamo, linked it up to the battery and let it run for a while. We were not sure how long we had to run it for and it was only kicking out a low voltage as it was running. We let it run for 3-4 minutes overall.
Once re-installed and the timing reset, and with some high revving the red charge light began to fade and I could detect some movement of the ammeter showing some charge. Touch wood, or some other insulated material, I think we found the cure.
