Swimmingfree is right, that is classic spree lean condition right there. The air box lid might not be on right or has no gasket. Or the air filter is missing or not oiled, air hose not clamped to the carb. Or all of the above. The carb could be loose as well. Buy a new filter if the one that came with it is the least bit messed up. They come pre oiled so its a no brainer. If you do re oil the original one, you must use the oil that is stated in the manual. Do not use use WD 40 or spray air filter oil. It has to be the proper oil for it to have it run correctly.
