She has electronic ignition, before I can the powerpack can it be something else? The wretched little circuit breaker that pops can this be faulty? I havent delved too deeply into this motor yet Im going to strip the accessories of it so I can shift some rust and repaint then work my way through the electrics but be nice to know what the potential issues can or could be

Need more information what kind of ignition system it has.

Does it have Motorola MagnaPower beltdriven distributor or does it have Prestolite CD ignition (three black or blue ignition coils and two black or blue CDI boxes)?

Difficult to see in the pics if it has electronic dist. But if it has, then possible issues for lost of spark are ignition switch, preamp,dist cap, ignition coil and power pack.

Well the ignition switch is no good, so most likely thats it, it has a points system.

Not when you open the switch and broken bits fall out, youd turn the key to start and shed flick straight back to accessories all by it self
