Thanks all for the pointers - electrics definitely aren't my strong point, so even the most basic of advice is appreciated.
When I say I held down the cut-out, I mean the arm that should disconnect when revved, and disconnects when revs drop to prevent discharge. I can previously recall it not operating properly and requiring some manual persuading to get going again, but I don't recall it ever needing prising back apart once back at idle.
I'm not familiar with the Harry Hales guide, so any links to where I could get one would be welcome.
I think the engines probably overdue a bit of a refresh at this point so I might take this as an opportunity to take the engine out and sort a few other bits while I'm there.
