Hello 1183667,

Your carburetor may be dirty and have some debris in the small passageways. We have an article and video on How to Clean a 2 Cycle Engine Carburetor. And while you have it apart you may want to get the P003001121 repair kit. This should take care of the problems you are having. If you decide to go with the repair kit, we also have an article and video on How to Rebuild a Two-Cycle Engine Carburetor.

Hope this helps,
