      Could be many things… Make sure your entire fuel system is clean (filters, lines, fuel tank). It needs more fuel under load, so if it calls for it and can’t get it, it will bog down.

      Poor compression or air restriction are possibilities too.

      Obviously, I have no idea what your load is on the unit. I am assuming it’s reasonable and within spec.
