What is the oil/fuel ratio you running? Sounds like you are fouling spark plugs. You may also need to move the needle clip and lean the motor a bit.

Several things that can cause fouled plugs is running too rich, running a rich oil fuel mixture. Too cold of a spark Plug, bad plug wire and even a weak magneto.

Before you go messing with your needle , what are you mixing your gas at ? How much oil per gallon of gas ? It should be 4oz of oil to 1 gallon of gas which is 32:1.
