i had same problem changed leads first and got lucky. no problems after that. i later found out it was just the main ht lead to coil.
                check cap to see it any moisture in it and rotor arm to see if its black where copper colour should be if it is rub it down with fine sandpaper and clean dizzy cap same way. dunno if that is any help. good luck mate.

I use to get that in 2nd when I left work. didn't have to be tanking it. just pulling smoothly out of a 90 bend and it'd splutter
