Spray some starter fluid around the carb with the air cleaner on and tightened down. If it revs up or changes in idle then there is a leak somewhere. If not try cleaning the carb by spraying some carb cleaner down inside it while its running.

Worse case rebuild the carb. I was having problems with mine and tried everything. I eventually got a rebuild kit and rebuilt it. It took about 8 hours total to rebuild it, but it ran perfectly when I put it all back together and started it up. I could rebuild another one in half the time now. I took my time before and followed the instruction slowly and it was easier than I thought it would be.
