Yea unfortunately these things do not take care of themselves. At teh very least you have to do what Harold suggested, which is clean gas, new plug, and clean your air filter. The only other thing that comes to mind is if your spark is created by a magneto, sometimes they become rusty and do not make a very good spark, causing the engine to run rough. I would try the other things first before looking into that. In order to clean it up you have to remove the pull start cover and either lightly sand it or use steel wool on it to remove a thin layer of rust, dirt, or debris. Once all of that is checked the only thing likely left is the carberator itself may need cleaned out.
