Have you checked the initial ignition timing and total advance? Everything you say points to retarded timing. Set it at 10 degrees at idle, and check that it makes over 30 at around 3500 RPM. When the breaker point gap closes up with normal wear, the timing point is retarded. That may be all it is.
