your carb is dirty ?, or your idle jet is clogged ?.
 
Thanks for the reply Shadetree, do think I can run some seafoam in the gas to clean it up, or do I need to rebuild the carb altogether? What about the idle speed, if it's too low would that cause the problem? Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate all of you suggestions
sitting a good while ?..no such thing as a cleaner in a can or bottle !..lol. get the carb clean, then you can adjust the idle with the idle knob ( black plastic knob ) on bottom, rear right side hanging down. if idle jet ( slow jet ) is clogged ?, it won't idle very well at all, and thanks for the kind words !.
