I have come across it on cars before the rings stick and so don't develope much suck when the piston goes down.
Just put a coulpe of teaspoons of oil down each plug hole, then spin over for about 30 seconds, always works for me, if this is the problem, as it creates a perfect seal.

check the inside of the dizzy the plastic can break around the king lead pin causing it not to start and back fire and stuff worth a look this happened to me, took me ages to find as it seemed i was geting a spark at the plugs but no constant enough to start it. good luck cheapest repair ive ever done on her!!!
