What this sound like is a carburetor problem there is probably some sort of debris in the main jet blocking fuel from fully getting to the engine. The carburetor has a idle port and a high speed port,so when a load is applied the engine gets starved for fuel due to some sort of blockage. I would suggest taking the carburetor apart and doing thorough cleaning and replacing this with a rebuild kit.
