"I have a problem gettin my ol

"I have a problem gettin my old workhorse past just headway speed. It cuts out as the spark advance gets to the stop on the stator. All cylinders check 125# and spark jumps half inch. Starts and idles really well. Have rebuilt the fuel pump and didn't make difference. Also had lower unit and prop replaced. Need a few suggestions. Good engine,not afraid to invest a little bit to make it right. Thanks for your attention. jim"
