Running great one day and next it stalls every time I hit the gas too hard

Pump diaphragm is shot would be one of the 1st things I'd think ...and it's a used carb, so yeah... that or a big vac leak.
Fuel pumps have always just gone out, not really weakened with slow decline in psi. In fact many have just pissed fuel into the crankcase on me.

You mean the pump diaphragm on the carb right? I have a new fuel pump and no vacuum leaks, it sits at 14inches at idle with my vacuum guage. Fuel pressure is good, sits at around 5.5psi.
