Afew things could cause this
Check the advance mechanism is advancing the spark
you'll need a strobe light to see it
also check the second throttle mechanism is opening the throttle butterfly.
This is operated by vacuum, take off the the air duct look down the second choke, remove the vacuum pipe to the actuator and suck.. it should open the butterfly.
my guess is the advance

Does it cut out at junctions sometimes too?
