It's too lean.
First, check for vacuum leaks. Look for loose carb flange bolts, intake gasket leaks, anything that can cause a vacuum leak.
Then try opening the main jet adjustment, about a 1/4 turn at a time, see if that helps.
Next thing to check is fuel delivery to the carb. There is a drain plug in the bottom of the carb. With the fuel valve open, remove the plug, be ready to catch the flow in a clean glass. The flow should start as a full stream, as the bowl empties the flow will slow to a trickle, but should not slow to a drip. If the test fails, check the screen in the sediment bowl, there may be another screen in the carb where the fuel line connects. Try opening the fuel valve with the line disconnected from the carb, should get full flow. If not the problem is in the valve, or tank is contaminated with rust. Also look at what was collected in the glass. If it's contaminated with rust, dirt or water, those problems need to be addressed before servicing the carb.
If there is contamination in the tank, it will also be in the carb. Don't be afraid of the carb, they are simple and field servicable. A quick fix is to remove the bowl and clean everything up. Some spray carb cleaner and compressed air work well. Check the float level, check the jets for blockage, check the needle/seat for blockage. If the carb is in bad shape, a "comprehensive kit" will usually bring one back into service.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
