do things get better if you close the choke some? that might mean that 
it's running lean and that could mean a clogged fuel line or carb.

&nbsp;Problem

&gt;<br>
&gt; SO, my questions are...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is it my low speed/idling use that is causing the issue?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is there something else I can do to keep it from happening?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks in advance.<br>
