Might be dirt in the carb (Like the idle circut maybe) hard to tell with a keyboard.

i diagnose cars all the time with a keyboard at work.... then again they're on the smog machine

First thing I'd check is the power valve.

Maybe a bad or loose plug wire??? Like Pro said, kinda hard to tell with just a keyboard. Whatever you find out, please let us know.

Good Luck,
