Well there could be numerous reasons but one is 3232 plugs aren't really that good try mc 8 plugs or os 8 plugs. Another reason may be your too lean on your low end needle which will do it everytime I suggest doing a lean test by pinching the fuel line by the carb after the motor is warmed up. Another reason could be you have a air leak somewhere either in the tank lid or your carb is leaking air around the neck or the needles. Another reason could be you have something on the top of the piston hitting the glow plug. You can flush the engine out by taking the glow plug out and flushing it with either fuel or denatured alcohol. You can usually tell if there is something hitting the glow plug because the plug filliment will be destroyed. More than likely your running lean either from a air leak or you have the needle set too lean. I had the same issue and my carb was shot and I had a leak around the tank lid since I fixed it a glow plug last me a while. I end up changing it now before it is gone.

Most likely a lean hsn, but it could be a number of things. A lot of noobs will lean the hsn too much in order to compensate for a rich lsn.

yeah, that happened to me a while back, most definitly a tuning problem. or you like to drive your car while its in a pool......naw its a tuning problem
go get it tuned from someone or have them show you how to tune it.
