Dave,
I am sure there has been something on this on either the Spitfire or the
Triumph list, but I would check your ignition circuitry, especially the
condenser and the coil. I would replace the condenser first as they are
cheap, then see if you can borrow a coil to substitute for yours as a trial
if the replaced condenser doesn't sort the problem out. Are your points set
to the right gap?
