Your carb jets are dirty. This is from the gas and/or Sta-bil. Clean or get the jets cleaned. Then in order to avoid the problem, do the following:

1) Before storing for more than a couple of weeks, run out all the gas out of the unit. Do not store it with any gas remaining. Run it until it stops from lack of fuel.

Ok this counters what I have been told. Evaporating gasoline leaves behind "varnish". That is why you want it a full as you can get it.
