Check your spark plugs gaps. Too narrow will cause bridging from carbon build up and too wide will cause the boost to blow out the spark. Are you running #8 race plugs by any chance?

i notice you are in the UK like me. I have the same thing on a DC2 and it seems to be moister inside the dizzy. Not sure if its from not being used during winter or just our lovely weather. If you can swap the dizzy off a friend and see if that cures it, or just take yours off and leave it somewhere nice and warm for a while with the cap off. Check for cracks on the cap and carbon dust on the inside causing it to arc.

Mine went away when warmed up but a different dizzy sorted it.
