I would tend to agree. The carburetor has three stages, idle, intermediate and high speed. It sounds like it may be something with the cap jet and through the intermediate stages. I would clean the carburetor out good, take the jets out, clean passages, blow it out with air and see if that helps.

You didn't mention checking the point gap? My experience with a coil going bad, is that it usually starts off fine, then down the road when it gets hot, the problems begin.
