FYI, a new fuel filter at the tank did not do the trick for me.  I had to put an
additional one at the carburetor.  I decided to get a glass one (clearview I
think) so I could see when I needed to clean it out.  Since then I haven't
had any problems

Thank you for all the responses, they help quite a bit.

The problemwas....

A dirty carb.  The carb was rebuild only a year ago, but the float bowl
had
sludge in it.  I suppose it's time to install a fuel filter.  now if I can 
only get the timing right...
