Your idle jet is plugged. Clean carburetor (times 2) and re-test.

Maybe even 3 times.

Or more... And if the idle pilot is not plugged up it simply could be the idle air mixture and idle speed are not set to spec. go get the manual and try it. Not a bad idea to clean the carb anyway, if you have never done it now is the time to get at er

but set up the idle it may fix it.
