Just to close this off, I went with the 'GO BIG OR GO HOME' approach to this problem,
I bought new everything coil, leads, dissy and checked the front wiring loom.
Carburetor came off fully clean and new internal bits.
And now it's running like a dream
Still don't know where the problem was but it must of been in this lot somewhere lol
Thanks again for all your help and advice and I've learnt a lot on the way
