Answer
Hi Daz.
 Start by checking that carb for any bad/torn/cracked rubber in any of the seals, particularly the one at the piston valve in the carb.

Then check your valve gap and timing and ignition timing.

As long as the carb has been properly cleaned and there are no intermittent shorts in the ignition system, it only leaves the above possibilities.

Good luck.
