You have insufficient fuel supply. At idle / revving with no load the bowl holds enough fuel in reserve to take up the slack from the fuel pump.
Bad fuel pump / clogged filter / clogged or malfunctioning needle or float in the carb.

Under load, you are depleting that supply and running out of fuel.

Or, you have plenty of fuel and a clean idle circuit, but a dirty high speed circuit.

You said you tried a electric pump, if that did not help I would bet it is internal carb issues.

i have an electric pump on there now,( the mechanical one was going out. I have checked and am getting sufficient flow of fuel up to the carb.

So shoul di just clean the carb? rebuild this one(20$ kit, but i read it is not hard but not easy to put back together), find a MC 2100 at the junk yard( $20 + rebuild kit and mounting bracket 25+ 15) or just buy a rebuild on off ebay, 100+
