Engine keeps failling me!!

It's a CU t25.
The problem is it will run for anything between 100metres and half a mile and then just die on me (usually at the worst places - e.g. at traffic lights or on roads with double-yellow lines).
And then, with the pedal full down it might start up again after about 20 secs of key turning - but there's virtually no power and I have to limp to a parking space at full revs in 1st or 2nd.
To try and fix the problem just had NOS solex carbs fitted - but it's worse than ever!!
I've changed the coil, the rotor arm and the fuel filter.
(I can see fuel going thr the new filter so I guess it aint the fuel pump)
I suspect the dissy (maybe the Hall sender) - but that's a bit scary for me to try replacing. Would a bad dissy explain such behaviour??
Has anyone ever come across this problem before?
