Thanks for all the suggestions. I managed to find an old new spark plug cap and crimped the HT write on the problem cylinder and fitted it, sounds a little louder. Obviously will need more testing.
Probably going to order new coils and keep them stored away since I found an old thread on a different forum of me having the same issue on the same side from two years ago, and then again a year later and crimping the wire with new HT leads is all I ever did on that front. Well besides replace the starter relay at some point.
Will definitely be lubricating connectors across the bike when I get the chance, happened recently with my rear brake light too (sticking on due to invisible corrosion, and solved with some jelly) so could easily be effecting something else.
Carbs are probably on the cards at some point, but since it gets regular use and I've had it a few years I'll try and save the pennies unless the problem carries on and it needs doing (shop job to me).
Will update anything else goes wrong or I try things and don't work. Cheers.
