I'm thinking there is a blockage in the carb and I need to remove clean it.
Thoughts? Thanks for your input, Dave

question: your engine should revs up very quickly without load (without "hiccups") "almost explosively" would say Mr Don M. Does it do that when not in gear? If yes, I would recommend to check the carburetor of course like everybody else, but would recommend to check first that the shaft turns "freely" by hand. If you have a piece of line entangled in your prop shaft, that could explain some of your issues...
If it does not rev up quickly when in "neutral", that excludes the shaft line, and would point toward your carburetor (assuming your exhaust path is clear (exhaust manifold + exhaust pipe etc...))
