The fuel accelerator pump is most likely bad and not pumping extra fuel during acceleration. The carburetor needs to be replaced or overhauled if you can find a mechanic with the experience to overhaul carburetors. I recommend having a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, come and check the problem for you and provide you a diagnosis.
