    is this after a carb change, or have you had the e on it for a while and it just started doing this?

    I would replace the intake seals, change plugs to new ones

    You will want to get off of the choke soon as possible to avoid fouling plugs

    Make sure you have fresh gas also


    Like Junior said the number 1 deal with fresh spring startups is the intake gaskets dry rot and leak. I get a few year most out of them
