Hey Chris,
The spark plug wir may be corroded. Replace it with auto motive spark plug wire and its should run fine.

Answer
Hey Chris,
What you know have to do is clean out the carburetor. To do this soak the carb in gasoline for about an hour or two. Then take a pipe cleaner and run it through every hole in the carb. Re-soak the carb in fresh gasoline again for 30 mins and re-install. It should run great. Hope this helps. Let me know how it works out.
