AnswerHi Steve,
Try adjusting the carb jets. The high speed mixture screw is initially set at 1&1/2 turns out. Then adjust it to give good acceleration and top speed while keeping the screw as far out as possible. The low speed mixture screw is set at 3/4 turn out, then adjust to give a smooth idle.
Check the fuel flow from the fuel tank. Also the spark arrester screen, the exhauset ports and muffler, for carbon clogging.
Let me know how you make out.
