Check as neddy says if still the same change capacitor/condenser back it may just be a duff one you fitted also clean points sometimes I notice new ones are coated in wax or something.

Sweeper , when you switch on give it a little kickover to make sure your ignition switch has not suddenly become a bit twitchy and make sure the needle on the ampmetre moves so eliminating any dodgey contact. I had same problem so gave key a little movement and we were back in business but it is so easy to get the wiring wrong here so get the book out.
