Did you check the carb-to-manifold bolts? There may be a vacumm leak that only shows itself upon acceleration and is most notable when the carb is still cold in the "choke" mode. If those are loose or you have a leaky gasket you may have a lean out situation that is starving the engine for fuel like you described. Good luck.
