It's probably the accelerator pump on the carburetor. This little pump squirts a small amount of gas into the throat of the carb when you step down on the gas. Over time the gasket inside the pump will dry out and no longer squirt as much if any. You would probably have to rebuild the carb, but you may be able to just rebuild the accelerator pump.~Jeff
