How's your spark? Is the timer advancing to full timing when you accelerate? What are the compression numbers? Check for broken or loose magnets under the flywheel? Check the WOT timing?

did you try pumping the primer ball and see if there's a difference? What do the plugs look like? any of the fouled? Try hitting the choke when problem occurs?

Check the choke lever been a few over time with it stuck or set to that one position.

Look for broken plastic links. Had a yammy with a broken advance lever end piece.

Red lever should be parallel with the body of the solenoid.
