j-19, how do the plugs look? A few pics of them may be a big help.

If the exhaust has not been done for 5~6 years or longer this would be a big possibility. This scenario "USUALLY but not always" sort of sneaks up over a few months not all of a sudden. Give this some serious thought and it is not to difficult to test in most cases.

Fuel can be an easy test with an aux tank with fresh fuel also an easy test.

One other possibility is the choke not "opening" when you think it is so a visual check will eliminate this possibility.

Clean fuel, properly timed spark and clear exhaust equal good performance.

When cleaning the carb was special care done with the float setting and the sealing of the emulsion well in the center of the fuel bowl? this seal is very important for proper metering.
