You could try taking the spark plugs out and give them a proper clean or buy new ones. i had the same problem with mine once and it was because the choke spring let go and therefore the choke was always being sucked closed. and also check the ignition points / timing.

I just replaced points leads Sissy cap as and spark plugs I many should check gaps on plugs but I did the rest gave it an oil change and I can start it if I hook jumper leads up and try to start it for way longer than I should but carby cleaner and degreaser won't start it so I don't think its the fuel lines but correct MD if I'm wrong

Carby cleaner and degreaser would make it harder to start, they don't have enough accelerant. Try some aerostart, and if that doesn't make any difference then problem isn't fuel related.
If jumping it makes it easier to start then it is most likely electrical. Check your points gap and timing. Could also be a faulty coil, or dodgy wiring. A bad earth will make it hard to start and run like balls.
