if you havent already double checked i would check the leads and the plugs as one might be fouled or lead may be split or maybe the owner was talking crap when they said it was just serviced. Cant hurt to spend a few dollars on leads and plugs and save you the troble in pulling the head off.

possibly the coil or points/condensor

most likely the coil or ignition module.

Yeah I would say Ign Mdle, probably cracked/dry solder on the transistor. Take it to a Auto Elec and get them to test it and check the solder, they can resolder it for you, may fix it cheap.
