Mike, you did a good job trying to fix it without having the tools to do it. Please let us know what the fix was, I am very curious.
Tom

Sounds like maybe the acceleration tubes (2) may be clogged! With the motor stopped; Look into the carb and pull the throttle by hand. You should see (2) nice streams flowing STRAIGHT down the barrels. If they "wander" or don't produce a nice stream- their dirty!! Another cause can be a bad accelerator pump in the carb! It feeds those (2) tubes extra fuel on acceleration!!!!!( because at that point, the vacuum drops, so it needs fuel that that low vacuum can't provide!) Sometimes they can cause a "Flat spot" when you rev the motor; when the car is running and standing still in neutral, and you rev it, and that's why! If that's all good, it is very likely ignition; likely culprit- spark plug high tension wires.
Regards, Steve Lee

A float adjustment might help also. A float that is out of adjustment could let enough fuel at low RPMs, but starve the the engine at higher RPMs. You might check that before you rebuild the carb just to answer the question.
