It's running too rich, this has reduced the combustion temperature, thus reducing the power available to drive the wheels. A 'Colour Tune'® plug, will allow you to observe the combustion process directly. The flame in a cylinder of a correctly tuned engine will be a pale blue. In an engine that is running rich, the flame will be yellow or orange.
