Engine cutting out under load

The vent hose we think is clear. Nothing blocking the openings on the fitting, and the hose is in excellent shape. We'll blow through it just to be sure.

Right now we suspect the ignition switch is creating the issue. That and/or the wiring that runs from it back to the engine. We thought about bypassing the ignition switch (hot wire the engine to start it). Or, just replace it (they're cheap).

It's the original ignition switch (43 years old). I restored a 1973 Searay 22' SRV. Gutted it like an eggshell. New transom, installed (cut) pressure treated stringers/bows, oak engine mounts, new floor, cuddy (etc.), re-gel coated the hull, new engine box, etc. It's better than when new and looks beautiful. Way better structurally. It just needs to run
