have you checked the disturb cap?

 

as it sounds like what happened to me, have you tried putting the revs extremely high and carry on up there if so then the cap could of gone.

 

also if it has might be worth looking at the HT leads and plugs as one of mine went due to the high rev trying to get it home!
