i would clean the carb, Its best to remove the carb and clean each part individually, but if you are feeling lazy, or are intimidated by doing this, you can remove the gas tank unscrew the top of the carb and remove the slide and spray carb cleaner down through the main jet until it starts flowing out the over flow tube of the carb. also spray it down any other holes you can see from this perspective. there will likely be a small hole towards the engine that is for the idle jet, spray it well.

reassemble, make sure the slide is in correctly, twist the throttle when done to make sure it feels normal. pull the choke and run the e start while twisting the throttle between closed and quarter throttle. there will be alot of carb cleaner in the bowl, the motor can burn it just fine if the choke is on (and will run it through the idle passages) . after a bit it will get replaced by gas and everything should return to normal.
