Josh---If "choking" the engine seems to help the sputtering during
takeoff, it is a symptom of a lean mix. Do the easy things first, like
be sure there's oil in the carb dashpots. 
If it's OK, do the diaphragm checks. 

Check that (hot) water goes thru the pipe at the intake manifold, as the
engine warms up. Fuel vaporization is necessary for good low speed
driveability. Feel the hoses for this heat as it exits this pipe.
