    Time for a carb rebuild.... Probably something plugging your main jet....

    We have lots of help here, but you have to provide as much info. as possible.

    Altitude? Air filter? oiled" running a lid, stock engine carb and otherwise stock? exhaust?? What changed it? not run for a month, new gas and so on and so forth..........

    clean out the carb, rebuild it even its very simple to do. also fresh gas wouldn't hurt. nice clean fluids are always good for it especially if it sits without running alot. shelf life of gas, especially in a tank, is about 30 days. when you put fresh gas in put some stabil in with it to help make it last longer. that would be my best bet for a starting spot
