This kind of fits in with your other complaint about backfiring. It would appear that you need to flush the fuel system and clean the carb. Original Gumout or Berrymans B12 are good.......or a trip to the shop.
I think I've heard that carb cleaning can be had for $100-150 but that would vary some, I'm sure.
