Hi Luis....couple things to get you going....check the tank and make sure it's venting. Check the primer bulb and fuel line to the engine for any lose connections. Check the fuel lines on the engine. Make sure there still plyable and are still connected firmly to connection points.<br /><br />Did you try squeezing the primer bulb when it was slowing down? If not, try it and see if the engine picks up. If it picks up, probably a fuel delivery problem.<br /><br />Just a couple things....engine isn't overheating? Compression good? When was the last carb overhaul and tune up?
