Depending on which ignition, how old of a system you have, DVA test the stator, or take along a timing light and watch to see if the timing light fails to light when the engine won't speed up under load, signaling a weakened spark.

Toby, It sounds like you have ADI ignition (6 coils). There is a stator test on the CDI Electronics web page
