Bad fuel pump? What happens if you pump the fuel line bulb while trying to accelerate?

Your explanation indicates that you missed manually cleaning the high speed jet that's located horizontally in the bottom center if the float chamber... way in back of the drain screw plug. Clean it with a piece of single strand steel wire as solvent just doesn't do that job properly.
