To me this sounds more like a fuel mix problem not an ignition
'spark' problem. I would suggest that you get on of the 'blue plugs'
that help you get the correct fuel-air mix to the cylinders. I have
seen these for sale from SunBeam Spicalties in the US, don't know about
the UK.

I will be visiting the UK in August (6-10 in London, 11th in Nothindham,
and then in Belfast for a bit. Are there any Alpine parts/information
in these locations?
