Have you inspected the carb? Losing power could be a number of things, blocked fuel line, choke setting out of whack, blocked air supply, etc. When did it happen, right as you started out or after a while? Is it the same brand of gas as before? Did you accidentally fill your gascan up with 94 octane?

Check for air leaks. What color is the plug?

I had the same problem until I push the choke lever all the way down, Then it worked correctly? Try the choke plate?
