Answer
Anthony,

The carburetor probably needs to be rebuilt or replaced.  There is a power valve in the carburetor that fails.  It looks like a brass pen with wires coming out.  You can remove the top of the carburetor and replace the power valve and see how that does.  While the top is off you can inspect the float and the bowl for debris.
