sounds like the ignition leads are breaking down underload when warm,, or possibly a hole in one of the airpipes,,

does it run lumpy like its dropped a cylinder when it does it?

no it doesnt which is wierd

 

only when you rev it ,, i cleaned the plugs up but might be worth changing them instead , and leads as well

certainly wouldnt do any harm,, other than that im not sure what the fault could be,, have you cleaned inside the dizzy? and replaced the rotor arm?
