Not sure where you are up to with this bike, Jason. However, have you still got a spark? Does the engine still turn over on the electric start? Any sign of damage to the coil? The fuel tap on these things, by the way, is often operated by engine vacuum so you'll need to check that. I'm a bit intrigued by the backfire...leaving the charger on shouldn't interfere with much. Maybe its an idea to pop the flywheel off again to see if the woodruff key is still there - if its got lost, the ignition timing will be all to hell. Sorry can't be more specific at this stage!
