Is the engine a Lister D - tall upright rectangular, with large flywheel. There are several groups of facebook for these engines.

Most likely will be the magnetos need a quick rebuild. There are a few folk out there who do this just Google “magneto rebuild near me”

Worth taking the mags off and sticking th in a warm dry place for a week or so (airing cupboard etc)
They often get damp in the windings when they've been stood for for a while....

Worth a try at least.
