I pulled the plugs yesterday when I ran a compression test and they looked normal, not wet or covered in oil. They have approximately 3 miles on them.
I'd look at the coil and ignition, if it was fuel you would have a different max rpm with and without load
As you have already tried a distributer with points I'd look at coil and HT leads, also check a good 12v supply to coil
