If it all goes away when you hold the lead them must be a poor connection between the lead and cap or to where the other end of the lead goes

something similar happen to me and was caused by spark lead from coil to dizzy
if u think it's electrical it could be your coil aswell
does it struggle to rev?

What lead is it??
HT one from coil to cap??

Maybe there is a break in the lead??
Try changing lead??

Might sound obvious, but double check the firing order of the plugs. I have had this before and it was cos I had swapped a couple of leads in wrongly.
Hope it helps
