make sure the air filter and exhaust isnt blocked.

 

Take the cab apart,take both jets out and clean them.You pilot jet is stopped up.

 

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!
