A quick test with a multimeter is to put one lead on the small wire from the coil (kill wire which is used to switch off the engine) and the other to the metal part of the coil, if you have continuity between the two, put it in the bin..!

And don't forget to get the clearance between the coil and the flywheel right.

The symptoms suggested an ignition rather than fuel related fault. With the latter you would expect at least some coughing and spluttering. But then who am I, just another "Old Fart"
