You probably need to clean the carb and possibly replace the gasket/diaphragm underneath it. If you are a do it yourselfer then you can do this. Otherwise take it to a professional. If tackling this yourself, first remove the gas tank and carb as one unit, be very careful to note where the springs are hooked up. Drain the gas. Remove the 5 Philips head screws holding the carb on. Underneath the carb will be a rubber diaphragm and gasket (careful; there's a tiny spring under there; don't lose it!). Spray out the carb with carb cleaner and spray out the little holes and cutouts on top of the tank. Replace the gasket/diaphragm (about $3 USD) and put it all back together. I hope this helps and best of luck to you.
