Erratic or no spark

Hopefully people are still here and may help.
I have an ex fire damage Trx project, have stuck on a new loom and the bike turns over.
There is an odd spark now and again but mostly as you stop turning it over.
Is there a pickup for the spark ?
Or Electronic issue ?
Help please.

There is a igniter/pick up screwed on to the inside of the alternator cover, it sends a pulse when a certain raised part of the flywheel whizzes past it. I wouldn't expect it to give any trouble though.

Tested leads and coils which are fine, next step is the CDI I suppose.

Traced it to a dodgy connection on the pickup wire.
