Couple of things to check - confirm that your float is adjusted to the correct height to allow the full volume of fuel into the float bowl as required to run properly. Make sure you have adequate fuel flow from the tank to the carb with no obstructions. With the engine running, turn the gas adjusting valve (GAV) knob counterclockwise 1/4 turn to introduce more fuel. Some of the jets may have become blocked by trash in the fuel and need to be removed and blown out with compressed air, but try the things mentioned above first before doing a complete tear down to see if they make any difference.
