Changed the dizzy cap? Got to be electrical.
If it were carb/valves it would be there all the time.

A Krypton tune should find the problem.
Does it start straight off then miss fire?
Have you run the tank until near empty?
Have you disconnected no 2 and run it to see if it misses every beat?
did it miss fire before you replaced plug/leads/cap?

the beast starts firsy time (after I changed starter moter)
I ran out of petrol on way home (problem was there before)

disconcted plug lead while engine was running (insulated cloves) while cold ran the same when warm and firing ok stared to missfire
yes thought problem might be caused by that
krypton tuners in telford say they will not touch it because it is awkward to get at!
