seems like it's a fuel mixture problem to me, probably on the lean side. Automotive carbs have a little diaphragm pump on them that squirts extra fuel in the carb when you step on the gas with a load. I don't know if your carb has that. If it were me, I would start by choking the motor a bit before putting it in gear to see if it makes a difference. If it helps, I would adjust the mixture a bit more rich.
