So it never did that until you installed the carb. right? So we can rule out any other component than the carb. When you say 3/4 throttle you mean the pedal is almost to the floor? More info like RPM's would help You might be running out of fuel but if you don't have a pressure gauge hooked up we can't tell that either More info please Gus

As said, ran fine with prior carb? confirm the float settings. What rpm, "ballpark" if no tach? sputters & dies or just dies? how many seconds into "3/4" throttle till it acts up? define 3/4 throttle? EDIT duplicate the same RPM/3/4 throttle in your driveway in neutral & see how it acts

I'll throw out the easy one. Did you check that the throttle is fully opening the carb when you made the swap?
I'll check.

OK, old carb/mech pump/no reg=ran fine. new carb/elec pump/reg=acting up. I'm assuming what you said that the elec pump is adequate & I'm assuming it has a non restricted (~100 micron) filter before it. What about adj the reg for more psi? the most it would do is (possibly) flood it just for 1 test which ain't gonna kill ya & it might very well be the problem (& an easy fix). All that is left is the carb. Holler how it goes. PS It just crossed my mind, what other filters do you have & was it not there with the mech pump/no reg/old carb
