Weird Problem with Carb?

I can move the acceleration lever on my carburetor at the carb and not see any increase in my RPMs. This doesn't happen all the time just every once in awhile. Very strange. Then in a bit the RPMs will kick in. To continue with the problem I can be in gear and moving forward at maybe 1200 rpm at 3 or 4 kph. Then I increase the rpm to 15 or 1600 rpm and there is no speed increase. I am guessing the clutch is slipping so I tightened it one notch and no change.
I rebuilt the engine last year and have 38 hrs on it. It was running fine just a few days before. Any one have any guesses on this conundrum
Thanks
