C if U can diagnose this problem.

my thought given the comment of what happens when you first turn it over,
would be take it for a spin and while yer driving it, grab the key and
start wiggling it around (while keeping it in the "on" position...see if
the maybe the ingition cylinder is fubar and causing an intermittent
connection problem.
Otherwise my thoughts would be the ignition (hall pickup inside the dizzy).
Btu it could be MANY things so start with the obvious stuff of first given
it a tune up and checking that all the little fiddley electrical
connections on the motor are decent
