If you are using NGK plugs be aware there has been a problem with fake plugs, do an internet search for details.

I do have an air-plug blaster/cleaner, but these were brand-new plugs, they worked fine for test-running the engine & probably only ran a total of about 30 mins, so still LOOK new.
As for fakes, well, I never thought of that!! More than possible I suppose.
Thanks guys.

Update, new plugs arrived, fitted them, pushed the button, BAM! Instant running,

beautiful in fact, runs like a dream, well OK, not a 'Dream', like a CB77!

Did some checks as to fake plugs, the old (new) ones LOOK the same, but tried them again & again they still don't work.

Thanks to all.
