the engine may be running rich, is it smoking (black) while running?, its more than likely a sticky float needle not closing and the fuel is draining into the cylinder and leaking past the piston rings. causes may be a gummy carb/ bad fuel line/ dirt in fuel tank. if u want to fix it right the first time get a carb kit replace the fuel line clean the gas tank and when u add new gas pick up a can of seafoam and add some to the fuel.
