ask your mechanic, noises are the most complex of all problems and nobody here can hear them. my wild useless guess, is air cleaner leaks. always works. use a rubber to ear, move hose, find source. easy peasy.
That's a strange one. The only things I can think of suggesting are:
Clogged gas cap vent. The next time is starts running poorly, remove the gas cap briefly and see if things improve. If so, then the cap is not venting as it should.
Moisture trapped in float bowl. Drain the contents on the carburetor float bowl into a clean container and check for dirt, rust, water, or anything else that doesn't belong there.
Dirty fuel filter. If there is one, replace it.
Air leak between carb and engine. Check tightness of clamps and manifolds for cracking. WD-40 sprayed around those areas with the engine idling will help detect any leaks.
That's all I can think of. Please let me know if any of my suggestions fixed it.
