Still haven't gotten around to looking at exactly what went wrong, but she definately still won't kick. Couldn't say no at the cost of the other engine, £35

Sorry to go off topic but i couldnt resist as I had exactly the same problem with my cg125 that baph described.
Baph if you ever get round to pulling the cg's engine apart i think you will find the little end bearing has disintegrated, the cg uses a nedle roller bearing for the little end and it appears it can break up resulting in the needles getting chewed up and sliced into little bits.
I found this out when my cg siezed up on me on the M4 about 10 miles from Bath at 3am, and i tell you its no fun when you pull the clutch in a hurry only to find the headlight goes out at the same time, huzzah for the generator powered headlight.
It took me about 12 hours to push the heap of crap the 10 miles to bath, stopping to sleep and get sunburnt buy the side of the road
I did rebuild the engine and it didnt cost too much but later the crank bearing failed which i suspect was due to me missing a bit of needle roller in the crank case (the crank bearing was subsequently replaced too) but to be fair I rode the bike from Bangor to Northampton with a knackerd crank bearing, and by god did it sound bad.
Just for good measure I also manage to fracture the piston (twice!) and snap the kickstart off as well as dropping it at least twice on ice.
I finally gave it away to a young kid who wanted a project and hes now using it to commute to work, it an L reg so its 13 years old but it was stood in a car port for 9 or 10 of those.
It may be a crap bike but it hard wearing LOL
Oh and you were never doing 70 on it, not unless they have tuned the engine alot in the last 10 years, mine would do about 55mph tops
sorry for the off topic.
