Usually the bog at tip-in (when you first take off) is caused by a
bad pump (not the engine fuel pump but the little pump found in the
carb that sends a squirt of gas in when you first apply throttle). It
has a leather piece on the plunger that can disintegrate or shrivel
so you get that initial bog (a lean condition till the venturi action
catches up).
You can get a rebuild kit and just try replacing that part without
messing with the rest and see if that fixes the bog.
