It would not hurt to also check the valve lift while your at it as a worn cam lobe can cause delayed valve opening/closing resulting lost of power especially when the valve clearance are set properly.
Also if your haven't rebuilt the carb check those main jets as they do tend to become lose as their retaining o-rings shrink. If this is the case then one cylinder could be running rich especially when not loaded as these Nikki tend to run off the idle mixture. This would let lose mains to leak surplus fuel but they tend to seal off under load as the jets are suck up against their mounts.
Just thunking out loud...
