So it revs up ok but you don't get much more speed, if that's right it sounds like the clutch mate

if its running ok i.e smooth and no missfires or spluttering then idd say your ignition coil is fine, as mentioned above could be your clutch is slipping,

Before you go fitting a clutch mate do a stall test

Put it in a high gear and try pulling away (with out using the throttle and hand brake on)

It should stall as soon as you pull the clutch up if it gets quite high before it stalls or if the clutch pedal gets really high it will be the clutch

there is also a rolling slip test to compliment the stall slip test as ive had clutches slip while driving but would still stall at standing, going like 20 or 30mph in fifth to keep the revs very low just bury the throttle, the revs should build slowly and smoothly along with your speed, if the revs build quickly and/or spikily but your speed doesnt its clutch slip, basically the same thing you are experiencing except when you do it i bet youre in a low gear and higher revs, if its happening at the opposite end of the scale, high gear low revs then its definite clutch slip
