U just said the dizzy "looks" ok how u know for sure, can't just go on visual inspection.
What about the points?
Then u asked "is it something to do with the dizzy"
Full quid?
Motor will probably be ok it's a sub system that is at fault. Start with the cheapest and work up. Or take it to a mechanic if your not that educated on engines.
Good luck man keep us posted

Has it got fuel?

How are the spark plugs?

How do you know the leads are OK? Are they new? A lead that looks OK can still break down under load.

How is the timing?

It won't hold revs while trying to do a burnout?

I had a problem with a VL once that would not rev over 3000rpm, it was the module (CAS???) in the dizzy.
