First, check starter assembly whether it's catching properly.
No spark usually means problem is around the spark plug -> spark plug boot -> lead wire -> ignition module + flywheel. Make sure you have the proper gauge and tester to check this. Like a ZAT4 spark tester, for example.
1.) Weak or no spark: Check whether you have the right spark plug and whether the gap is right. Requires a gauge.
2.) Weak or no spark: Check the gap between the ignition module and the flywheel whether it is according to manufacturer specs . Requires a gauge.
Note: If you trace the lead wire from the spark plug boot, the other end is the ignition module - it sits close on top of a flywheel. Color is black with two "legs" extending at the bottom with the ends cut to an arc/semi-circle to accomodate the side of the flywheel. The flywheel is that round thick aluminum disk with ridges that resemble fan/fins.
3.) No spark: Check the lead wire and the spark plug boot. They might be corroded or have lost their functional integrity over time. They are inexpensive and are easy to replace.
4.) No spark: Time to replace the ignition module. They can be costly. Upwards of $45USD. Plus you really might need a technician to properly seat and gap it.

1/ Have you fitted the spark plug leads in the proper firing order.
2/ Look inside the top of distributor Top (this is not the first time a new distributer cap has very small crack) or the rotor arm is fitting the cap properly. Hope this helps Best Wishes, Malcolm Campbell.

Piaggio nrg mc3 recently changed spark plug ran ok after for 2 weeks or so but went for a ride saturday but started juddering and conked out but got it home and cleaned the plug etc and its fired up twice...

If its a 2 stroke try fitting "Brand New" Spark plug. If problem persists check plug condition as could have too much 2 stroke coming through via 2 stroke pump, Water in the fuel or poorly setup Carburettor.

Had the head redone, new Carb fitted, new distributor cover and leads new spark plugs, crank timing set to mark (0)and cam timing (2e)set to mark on head. the engine swings, fires from the carb, spark on...

Sounds like you have your timing off. If it is backfiring, that means that 2 of your wires are crossed, causing the plugs to fire on the exhaust stroke versus the compression stroke. Recheck your timing.

Rear cylinder not firing

The first thing I would do is replace the spark plugs again. You can foul a plug and it will cause you more problems than you can ever imagine. I see you have done all the logical things that I would recommend but I did not see you have replaced the plugs after the 200 miles. You would be surprised at how many times a $2.00 part can cause fits beyond belief.
