Sir, my 7k engine cannot continue running every time when we released the accelerator pedal. Although smooth starting and normal sounds of engine but engine cannot run steady. I do not know if it is rough idle or clogged fuel that cannot go through carburetor.

It sounds like you have a plugged exhaust system. Here is a guide to confirm the problem:
