quick update...
Investigated the running issue...
changed the dizzy cap for a better fitting one out of my bucket of odds and sods, used a better set of leads as well. Seemed to do something. I also fiddled with the mixture, I have better running but only seem to be returning around 24mpg ( this is not exact as my tank sender is shot so I'm just calculating usage etc) I will need to get to the local garage and get on their gas tester to get the mixture spot on sometime soon.
I also investigated the coil feeds, both read 12v disconnected (crank and running feeds)so i'm guessing it's the old non resisted feed that needs a ballast resistor. I'm running a resisted coil which should be ok, but I'm going to get hold of a non resisted coil and a ballast resistor and see if that makes a difference.
But on a plus note she runs good, not completely smooth but good, and is quite capable of being used on an almost daily basis, apart from being a tad thirsty.
So here are some celebratory pics
