Earth to inlet manifold not connected would be the first place i'd look.
If you haven't sorted it yet, flick me a pm and i'd be happy to have a quick look as i'll be heading to the beach tomorrow...
How did you go with this, get it up and running?
Would have said for a few quick checks the earth lead to the back of the head or the dizzy plug.

That "poor earth" is the heart of any 4age loom...

Did you get to take this for a drive or still ironing out a few problems?
of note I know someone who was suggested to use the light load thing with his fresh engine. The whole thing had to get torn down because the bores where glazed.
Matt is on the money here- use 3/4 load on and off with medium revs in 15min intervals and then just use decent load from then on.

dont let it sit and idle either......this will glaze bores also
hey guys, so after a few delays, (newyears etc) finally got the motor in today and running.
Running like a charm, in terms of performance. At this stage I've only done 20 kays in it. Blue smoke is intermittently blowing out the exhaust with the occasional backfire. Otherwise its perfect.
Am running 10w-30 (Penrite plus ten shit).

That oil, to me, is too light to run a motor in let alone running it normally. A rebuilt motor will make some smoke but I think you'll be burning some much more with that weight oil.
I used some Repco red bottle stuff, full mineral and 20w - something. Check your dipstick and make sure there is enough oil in the sump too, but I'd get rid of that oil all together.
Timbo how many engines have you ran in?
The oil is fine, don't panic...
