It sounds to me like the engine is flooding out (aka too much fuel, GAS)

Depending on what carb you have it could be that the Fuel Bowl floats are stuck or else they have become saturated and no longer float. Either way it sounds like you need a carb rebuild kit with new floats. You will have to take the carb off the engine, make sure you mark all the vacum lines etc with masking tape and magic marker (makes it so much easier going back on) once you have the carb off invest in a couple of cans of carb cleaner and using the rebuild kit follow the instructions to replace , Fuel floats, gaskets etc.
