You can check the air filter and exhaust system for dirt and obstructions, but I believe you'll find the problem in the carburetor itself. You have different circuits that take care of different load/ throttle/ rpm conditions. As a rule they are categorized as idle intermediate and full throttle. Your idle to intermediate has an obstruction.
For the best results, I would dismantle it, soak the parts in a carb cleaner from NAPA, blow them out, and you'll probably have fixed the problem.
You can try carb/fuel system cleaner and may get the job done. It really depends on whether you have dirt in the carburetor or a gummed condition. The latter would be fixed more easily with the cleaner.
I believe, the first thing I would do prior to carb work would be drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor, flush both, and refill with clean fuel. Sometimes that helps if you have moisture or floating residue in the system.
Hope this helps,
Bob
