Sounds like there is an object in the bowl of the carb. I had a poppy seed in the bottom of my bowl and once I went full throttle it would bog and die. Started right back up and ran fine til I nailed it. Try to clean the carb out first and see if that works. -Mark

First be sure the choke is OFF, it's happened to me. :-/
I would then open the drain screw on the bowl and drain some gas out, then try it.

Then I would try to drain some gas from the bowl. It also sounds like a clogged filter, or maybe the float is sticking. Definately sounds like a fuel problem.
If the carb is OK, then the easiest thing is to change the spark plug, be sure to check the gap, they don't come set for you.
