Hi all thanks for your replies.
It has a new coil with leads, new plug tops and new plugs. The carbs were the first port of call and they was clean as a whistle. It may not be just firing on 1 but with the power loss and noise from the exhaust that was my first asumption.
When taking the plugs out 1 was quite oily prompting me to check the valve guides which were fine. So while I was in there I thought I'd take the head off and do the valve seals as it does burn oil and it's something I wanted to do before the spain trip.
The thing that pointed me towards the pickup coil is that when I pulled a lead and put a spare plug on it, instead of the tick tick tick of a spark it was almost like a crackling of small weak sparks.
I will have a more thorough look into it tomorrow afternoon but it does seem to be shorting out.
