Look into the fuel filter. It will idle smooth with little gas. It will run WOT with little gas. The fuel is starving and running lean, restricted by the fuel filter. On acceleration is when the demand for fuel is needed. Just a thought. Hope it helps

4 stroke motor backfiring thru carb means it is firing a cylinder with an intake valve open
