Unhappy accelerator touchy

I've got a 65 f250 w/352 and the accelerator is very touchy.
When I take off from a corner it has tendency to stall unless you really give it a lot of gas. Any ideas? Oh yea it's got 3 on the tree.

it sounds maybe there is a carb problem, it could be a little gummen up and may neeb a new kit in it, or the fuel filter could be plugged you will just have to try a few things.

Lot's of poss problems. Does the carb give squirt of gas when you pump the pedal? Is the vacuum advance in the dizzy working? Is the accelerator linkage sticking? Does it run normally when cruising and accelerating?

what carb do you have? usually when its a flat spot, its due to the accelerator pump diaphram being rotten. and you can pick those up at your parts store pretty cheap.
