Sounds like you might have some crud in the carb. You might want to disassemble and clean it really well. You might also try putting some seafoam in the gas.

Carb cleaner. The only one that I have ever seen that actually worked.

ditto on the seafoam, if it backfires when you let off its a lean condition, I would lower the E clip on the main jet needle one notch which will raise the needle and give it a little more gas, other option is going up one size on the main jet, try the needle first
