In your situation I'd check the coil is getting power and if it is and all connections are good I'd look for a replacement good one.

Re: Strange misfire
Well I think I've cracked it. Checked the plug cap and it had 12K ohm resistance so that got replaced. Whilst I had the plug cap off I thought I'd check the HT lead as well. It tested at 1 ohm which seamed a bit much for 6" of wire. I checked my 1m length of HT lead and it tested at 0.1 ohm so I did the HT lead whilst I was at it. Quick test ride and it looks to be sorted. It even felt crisper from idle but I don't know how much of that was in my head. Thanks for the suggestions everybody.

Re: Strange misfire
Looks like you got it fixed.More often than not ignition faults aren't the failure of just one component but a cumulative affect of parts wearing over time.

***Aftermarket*** restriction was via carb washers, the Suzuki restriction was by a set of different CV throttle slides that had a great big hole in them and so restricted how far they would open. I bought a set of carbs that had them fitted without realising. Fitted the carbs to my 700cc SV and it made 35hp on the dyno! Stuck the old ones back on and up to 80hp!
