my 1988 honda accord has had the carb rebuilt to cure a idle problem haveing it rebuilt fixed the idle problem but created another the car runs fine until you get on it or go over 70mph it starts to bogg down or what i call it bucking almost like a revlimiter it will make the whole car go up and down really fast if you hold it to the floor it will almost die but it just starts to run for a second and die down again it will do the same if i take off and hold it to 5,000 rpm and shift to 2nd at 3,000 it will do it i thought it was the float but it dosnt help to adjust it the fuel level because it is perfect in the glass sight any help is welcome to stop this anoying problem!

Check the secondary booster venturi / aka / Auxilary Venturi... make sure it is perfectly tight.
