the engine dont allways start the battery is fine, leads and ignition n that

did u say u changed the leads, have u checked timing, got the right firing order, that thing with overrevving happened to me, when i was tatting in the engine i moved the choke cable out of the way by folding it behind something, i forgot to put it back in place when i moved it the engine ran fine, please let me know how u get on

it would make the engine run out of balance, so yeah, maybe, i'f you have spares, i'd swap the whole igniton system over,also, have you ruled out anything mechanical, i.e done a compression test?
