Nope. Minispeed said the dizzy drive was 180 degrees out in the engine so once they'd fitted the new dizzy they switched the leads 180 degrees from what they're supposed to be, this fixed it and it started and ran beautifully. I has just got progressively worse from collecting it from them and now wont start at all.

What I don't understand is that when i disconnect the coil the engine turns over like you'd expect it to but when i connect the coil it struggles to turn over, sounds like a flat battery I know but it's not. I also checked the coil resistance and it's 0.9 ohms

Have you tried running a new earth, my high compression 1330 used to do somethign similar then jam the starter. Put a bigger earth from battery to body and direct from starter casing to body and sorted the problem out.
