Engine Cuts Out When I Gun It

It sounds like a bad accelerator pump, at first blush. With the engine off, and air cleaner off, look straight down into the carb (open the choke manually if you need to). Open and close the throttle. You should see a healthy stream of liquid gasoline squirt into the carb, just below the choke plates. Your post doesn't even hint at what engine or carb you've got, but it's generally not a big job to replace.
