It might due to defective plug. The plug is damage.

Could be engine is too rich and/or idle speed is too low.

Lean the mixture by one more turn and increase idle by another 15 or 30 min turn.

Ok, it all depends on how new or old the engine is. If you rev it up and it takes too long to spool up then it is too rich. On the other hand if it revs fast then bogs and sounds like it's gonna quit, then it's too lean. Like others stated, it could be your idle it wont hurt to raise it up as long as the clutch doesn't engage. If the motor is in the process of being broken in then this type of behavior is somewhat normal. If the engine has more than two gallons through it, then a new piston/sleave might be needed. Good luck!
