Get someone who knows about hacking electrics to check it out. And
I mean "hacking" - not an electrical shop, but perhaps someone with
and interest in old cars or radios.
It is generally dead easy to replace a condenser with a functionally
equivalent one, and often possible to replace a coil. And 90% of
the time, it is the condenser, anyway.

Nick Maclaren.
Thanks for that Nick, my repair man did suggest I try motor bike/scooter
repairers as well, I think the coil may well intergral to the motor but
the condenser should be straight foward enough, no harm in having a go is
there as its dead at the mo!
