I was gonna answer that question a while back but didn't want to seem disagreeable.

I'll go with the carb setting as well. Onan's are also known for vacume leaks. Also check your head gaskets.

You are setting the points gap at TDC and that's all you are doing. The fact that it runs fine at idle and not at FT is not an indicator of a points gap problem. You don't have an 'timing advance' on this so the timing will not change through the RPM range, so there's really no timing to be set beyond closed at TDC or a few degrees before TDC. Timing is determined at the cam and nothing is really adjustable anyway.

Check the other things and you can make up your own new wires for a couple of bucks, not a big deal.
