Have you replaced your ignition points? My 74 did exactly what you described. My points were out of adjustment and burnt. Very simple fix. Hope you get it figured out.

Still have bubbles in the carb window?
If you have an ohms meter, there is a test that you can preform that is out lined in the factory service manual that can help understand the condition of the coil.
I would replace the point and condenser.

Hey mate sorry for leaving you hanging there, Yes adjusting the contact gap solved my problem.
Dude, you come on the forum and ask for advice, then go off and do whatever else except what you were advised, then come back and groan that your junk still won’t run right. Your ignition points are burnt. Buy new ones.
