Answer
Mr. Abraham,

It sounds like you have a carbuerator problem and you will need to have it rebuilt. The first thing I would change out on the carb is the accelerator pump. YOu can buy the rebuild kit from Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, Napa or any other reputable auto parts store. If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me again. Hope that this helps and good luck.
