Scott, the symptoms sound characteristic of fuel starvation.  When idling
the fuel pump can keep up with the fuel demands but under way the fuel in
the float bowl gets depleted and then the engine stops working properly. 
Check for a restriction in the fuel lines, either a clogged filter, debris
in the line, or a bad valve in the pump.

One part of the sympoms is that it runs fine from a stop for a few seconds.
 A torn diaphram would behave poorly all the time.

Ask me how I know.

Dave
