it's probably a carb problem unless the carb has been updated to be able to use alcohol in fuels.it needs an overhaul

I you use any gas used today it has alcohol in it depending on where you are it can have 10% or 15%. but , have you tried adjusting the air mix? screw in screw lightly seat an dback off about a turn and a half.. Make sure carb is tight onmanifold with no vacuum leaks . that includes checking hoses, etc. it shold also idle about 750-800 in gear.
