Float chamber needle valves often corrode when in storage, and don't seal
properly - maybe you've got too much fuel flowing in - that might explain
why it's taking a time to slow down again.  Timing OK?

Exhaust gases OK?  Simply put, CO level wrong indicates fuel mixture
problem; HC wrong indicates valve, compression or ignition problem.
