You might try just turning up the idle speed a bit. If that keeps you going, then it's likely a jet in the carb that allows only a trickle of gas through might be plugging.

It's kinda like electrical sometimes. Move and jiggle, then put back to exactly the same spot and see if it works better.
Do the same with the plug wires, checking each end, before you spend any money.

Set them right before you spend money on new ones if you have the time but no money unless it's obvious they are well worn.
