Had same issue on the wife's SP450 (Must be a spouse thing, LOL).
I found that my carb was gunked up, had to take it apart and clean
it. A good set of Orfice needles did the job with wiping it clean using
Carb cleaner spray. Also the throttle cable needed some adjusting,
runs GREAT! If it has sat for a few months at rest do it anyways, as
the weather cold to warm to cold again cause the condesation to build
in the CARB.

Future prevention:
Recommend Gas stablizer fluid (any that recommended for ATV or Motorcycles)
and turn of Gas Valve off and run it till gas is out of lines when cunks out.

YES I AM SMARTER NOW! (LOL, I learn everything the hard way!)

FYI, two of the bottom two posters here recommended the following when
I had these issues, LOL. Kudos to the experts!

Regards,

R'
