    I see a dribble...

    I think that's the issue. A dribble isn't sufficient so it's starving for fuel when you try to accelerate. I'm not familiar with the Weber's internals, but another member or an internet search should tell you how to access and fix the accelerator pump circuit.

    Just ordered the part, looks pretty easy to swap. 4 screws and it's easily accessible, shouldn't take but like 10 minutes...
