81 240 wagon (not FI), stumbles and bumbles first thing, but only under load.

Starts fine, runs fine when given throttle at idle. When I try to get going, I have to really rev it up and feather in the clutch or it falls on its face hesitating.

Since rpms climb fine when I give it gas at idle I am not sure what conclusion to draw.

Is the mechanical fuel pump clogged?

Is the carb out of sorts in some way? I maintain the ATF level in it, the damper action is good.

The only fuel filter is a screen in the fuel pump (Pierburg).
