So you could use the strobe as a diagnostic when you swap the coils and the same swapping the leads.

It might not be a strobe problem at all? Once you have a nice fat spark and good current running through the leads I expect the strobe will work okay?
Yes someone else has suggested its the coil/ lead. Im swopping them now
I have just run resistance tests on all the coils and pick ups

Coil Primary 5 Ohms both, (spec 3.8-5.2)
Secondaries both a bit high at 18Kohm, but both the same ( spec 10.8 - 16.2)
Pick ups both 101ohms (spec 95-105)
Caps both 5 kohms
Leads without caps 0.5ohms, although I acknowledge that under load all sorts of things can happen

So nothing jumping out of the page at me there.
