Ok - getting back to getting the car back on the road. I took it for it's first drive in 5 months last night and things have not changed (as expected) - works fine for about 10 mins then will not behave above 2,500 revs. Able to drive home from the local roads OK but if I try to hard accelerate at all it just pops and engine cuts out till back to low revs. Gets worse as I continue to drive (things getting hotter?)
One thing I did notice once home last night was that the CDI+ unit was VERY hot - could not leave a finger resting on it. Am planning to swap over back to an old standard CDI unit and see if the problem disappears.

Hope your recovery is 100%
Easier, Take it out for a short ride with a filled ice chest, when it fails and the box is hot, put some ice on the unit to see if it starts working properly. If so, you have confirmed your problem.
