You'll probably want to post your make and model # if you want help.

It happens every spring. The carbs gummed up sitting all winter and now we're down on power. Don't keep running it, the pistons may suffer big-time.<br /><br />It could be something else but that's usually the scenario.

If Dale hasn't nailed it you may have dropped a cylinder. Check for spark but it probably is your carbs.
