However, I would be very careful messing about with jets if you don't know what you are doing. Sounds like you have a' flat spot '. Setting up and balancing carbs is DIY do-able but you will need a decent set of gauges for a start and some means of getting the mixture right. Air cooled engines get hot real quick when you have them sat still and thats not good for them. Free filters and pipe will make it run lean. I would suggest asking around for a local mechanic who has a good reputation and take it there. If you do meddle make a note of where everything is before you start and then at least you can return it all to base if its a disaster!

No disrespect intended too, but this is very good advice.
Bite the bullet and pay and experienced mechanic. It will be money well spent in the satisfaction of smooth running.
