We are a B %26 S shop and the numbers you provided are not B %26 S numbers. I'll have to be very general. It sounds like to me that you have some blockage in the jets and/or ports in the carb. Also check the magneto arms and flywheel magnet for rust and/or trash buildup which could cause a weak spark robbing your engine of power. I will also send your question to the question pool so maybe one of the other people on here can help you further.
