Ok thanks.....

I'm not much of an experienced hand at using a multi meter BUT I put a spark tester between the plug and HT cap. When it starts to warm up I only get intermittent spark under load/throttle. I've been considering upgrading to a Varitronic anyway so I'm guessing although the this won't find the fault exactly it will cure it, am I right?

Yes of course you're right. Take a look on eBay for a varitronic on auction.
I don't have an ulterior motive. Honest guv'nor :D
