One problem may be a decrease in balance or proportion of air/fuel mixture causing the engine to "flood" or overfill with fuel and choke out. Fuel (gasoline) needs nitrogen/oxygen to burn. Increasing or squeezing the throttle adds more fuel. The expectation is that an proportional amount of air mixture also increases incrementally, thus increasing burn, energy and propulsion. But a clogged air filter, reduced vacuum (caused by a hole, loose hose, etc) or other factors keeping an adequate air mixture to burn the fuel will flood the carburetor or piston compartments with unburned fuel and without burn, no energy created and the engine stops.
