Maybe the engine is flooded. Try removing sparks and leave the petrol evaporate for about half hour. So you can have a look at spark plugs also, to check if mixture/timing are wrong...

Yes, its too rich and probably needs a different needle, so a RR session would be helpful.
But that issue could also be due to a stuck needle valve in float chamber. |

Lulu did this when one of the cells in the battery went. Sounded 100 times worse than a tractor, but it was running on all 4 and it got better at higher revs.
