I went back to the beginning of this short thread, second post was some member using Carl from ATHF as an avatar, I got lost ATHF randomness for a minute, then came back to this post.
Your bogging issue is no load versus load on the engine. A weak ignition can act like that. A higher engine load creates higher cylinder pressures. This isn't the same as compression ratio or compression PSI, and it takes a more energetic spark the higher the cylinder pressure is. If the ignition is borderline, it may idle OK and run alright at light throttle or in neutral, but put a load on it, and you're getting poor combustion from a weak spark.
It's also probable the fueling system is off, as in incorrect jetting, but in gear versus not is still an engine load difference. Kind of like on a old carbureted car, you really have to rev the engine high to get vacuum secondaries to open on a four barrel carb if it's in park, but under load, they'll begin to open at a lower RPM because the load is demanding more power from the engine.
