we had a similar problem with out 288xp , it turned out that one of the spade conectors on a wire going to the coil had broken - roughly 16 pence and 20 mins in out workshop and it was fixed !

Had a 266 like that - turned out to be the gap between the coil and the flywheel magnets - use a doubled up piece of A4 paper!
