While you are probably due for some carb. cleaning, it might not be necessary to tear things apart to do it.

Your symptoms could be caused by a vacume leak. Most common places are the hose going to the petcock and the boot between carb. and engine.

A good dose of Gumout or Berryman's B12 in the tank might clean things up without dis-assembly.
