Your accelerator pump performance is suspect and would lead to stumble or hesitation on acceleration. The corrosion in the pump bore will shorten the life of the plunger seal if not corrected. Also, a vacuum leak wouldn't necessarily prevent an engine from idling smoothly.

To clean an accelerator pump bore wrap a strip of scotchbrite around a screwdriver and twirl it in the bore. If the bore has actual pits get another carb.
The pump must be able to produce a jet of fuel the instant the throttle is moved to avoid bogging. Leather is once again the preferred pump material. Put a little oil on it and roll it between your fingers to limber it up before installation.
