At idle, there is high vaccum under the carb. Everything will run well if it can. As you open the throttle, the manifold vacuum drops and lots of things can go wrong. I had a jet boat for a day with that problem. Turns out that to get the 460 Ford engine into the boat he had to make a new gas tank by hand from scratch.

The tank had a loose screw floating around in it and on rare occucations it would get sucked into the gas line point first up the the screw head, the engine would lose power and the screw would float back to the bottom of the tank.

He had to take it completly apart until he came to the tank.
