Check the plugs, If I ever let mine go too far without checking them and the gap gets too wide, the same thing happens and I know it's plug time.

Mine was doing the same thing mentioned, changed the plugs, now it runs great

i changed the plugs and fuel filter but no good the old plugs were really burned up and there was a carbon build up around the plug wires is that normal?

The factory service manual should be your first step.
