Amazing Bog in Q-junk

I tweaked my AV tension a long time ago, but recently I replaced spark plugs and spark plug wires with 8mm accels. But the bog is still there, running a little better but when I punch the gas pedal, nothing, and then a second later it will slowly accelerate until it gets about 3k and then it really pulls. Could this problem be that the tension on my AV flaps are too loose?

Could also be a malfunctioning choke pull-off. You need both the pull-off and AV tension adjustment to make it work properly.

That's too loose. The AV tension should be at least 1/4-1/2 turn in the closing direction from just closing.
