So, got my bike back from Stuart Rafferty Motorcycles in James Street, York, who managed to correct the faulty kill switch on the handle bars. They had done a full check of the electricals and connections so all good. They managed to re-clip the throttle cable and spring back into the carb that I had managed to rough up! I also managed to dislodge the clip inside the spark plug cover, so that now has a NGK cap on that's a little more robust! After a final lube on all connectors and grease points, the bike is running really smooth now.
So the good news (not including the bill!!) is that I have found a garage that will quite happily service and repair my Chinese bike. I would recommend them to anyone, but he is always very busy so book early to avoid disappointment!
