With these things and these symptoms the most likely
culprit is a fouled carb. Or a clogged, collapsed, or
leaking fuel line, fuel filter, etc. You could try spraying
carb cleaner in it. If it's the carb, mabye a 30% chance
that would solve it. Otherwise, if it's the carb you have
to take it apart and clean it and get a rebuild kit.


Agree. I would also check the spark plug, clean the gap with
sandpaper and reset the gap to specs or a little less.
