You really need to check the coil boot and the surface of the coil for spark tracks that will short out the spark under load.
Look for a black track that runs down the side of the coil from the plug end. If you find one, just scratch the track out with a small pointed scribe, and spray with a silicon oil spray.

AND look for hairline cracks that can allow the loss of the cooling oil inside.
