Mmmm well chaps it sounds like this one is running a tad on the lean side.

When the darn rubbers get a bit long in the tooth a few cracks start to appear. Kinda like oneself actually!!! When that happens the old motor sucks a tad too much air. If one diddles with the choke and it motors nicely, for sure it is a tad on the lean side.

The chap around here who calls himself chopper isn't too far away near Trim. By all accounts he is quite well versed in this sort of thing.

One could only agree with you 2strokey.

He did however indicate that he needed new rubbers

A chat with that good fellow chopper is probably most appropriate in the circumstances !!
