Get some carb cleaner on them....and perhaps they need to be balanced. Try and get a regular airbox on there. Also, as above, check the timing. Have a look at our how tos and guides for further help.

Sounds like the dizzy has been retarded.

Adjust the dizzy, if you look at it from the drivers side, rotate it Anti-Clockwise all the way.

Literally Rotate the dizzy Anti-Clockwise till it stops because of the bolt, and bolt it back up.

Check the vacuum lines off the Dizzy aswell.

If not, im located in Skegness if you want me to take a look!
