Welcome to the forum. You'll want to fill out your signature line so people know what you have. They're all similar, but not the same. Certain years had certain common failure points etc.

Runs fine under no load? First and easiest is fuel filter.

If that doesn't help, you may have air infiltrating the system, poor fuel delivery, or a timing issue.

We need a little more info.
