Can't be his plugs as problem was before he changed them from what I gather

Check for dampness and condensation in dizzy cap and coil where leads plug in
As said check rotor arm grub screw to make sure it's still in there and rotor hasn't spun
Basically dry out and water seal every electrical connection as damp can cause havoc
If you've swapped afm and still the same it's more than likely one of the above

I'm going for dizzy, plug gap or shit fuel causing a miss.
Mine was stood for 9 months outside in the shittest weather known to man facing down hill so all the water poured in the vents (now made a run off away from engine), changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter (z32), fuel, pump (walbro) and dizzy. Started and ran perfect first time

Got a cover over the plugs and they were new in December and have since replaced chain, tensioner and valves gapped so didn't bother changing again.
