It's possible, I'm not sure what you have done to check the fuel pump but if you're on top of it and sure its working well enough then move on.

definately check the timing but you said you've already done that. What degress BTDC have you set it at and what fuel are you using,. 91, 95 or 98? I'm assuming that you have known fresh fuel in there. Something else while it pops to mind, yours is '88 so it might have a drain plug on the fuel tank or it might not. I like to drop the fuel out the tank and see whats in there, if you aren't convinced that the fuel is fresh then do this for sure and replace it with fresh fuel.
As for the coil you can check it with a multimeter or just swap it out, you should be able to find a cheap or free one if you know a couple of people with parts laying around, or buy one. They aren't a huge cost and might be handy to have around, but a free one will do.

Theres a few ways to go here, and yep if there is spark it might be a weak spark. Spark should look strong and usually be a blue or white, a weak spark will look yellow or red. I reiterate, check your spark plug gaps while they're out. you can be chasing your tail when its a simple case of plug gap.
The way to test this is take the plug out, check the gap then pop it on a part of the motor that is well earthed and crank the motor over. Do that for all of the spark plugs, if one or two are giving weak spark then its likely that leads are your problem. If they all are giving weak spark then start thinking of the HT lead from coil to the dizzy, dizzy cap (although i think you said you've already changed it), rotor can be burnt, pitted or damaged.
this might help

A systematic approach should negate the need to replace everything. hopefully 
Another thought that occurs to me, although by the description of your problem I dont think its likely to be this, is the switch that sits at the top of the clutch can sometimes cause problems. It usually presents as a good idle but cuts out as soon as you start feeding the clutch out. You can remove the two wires, bridge them together and it will fix the issue but I really dont think this is the case here.
