I had that happen once because the wire coming into the bottom of distributor had a bare spot,. Or, you could ave bad gas
 
It's likely that your accelerator pump jets are plugged, or the pump is not working.
 
Try a new accelerator pump diaphragm. About $4.00 and very easy to replace (right on front of carb.). Timing should be around 12 degrees BTDC or more (15 degrees?) also.
 
hello johnstrow, this may be helpful. thank you for this hint. as we live in switzerland, it could be a problem to find it, but we`ll try.🙂
