he may need to clean out the tank & check the tank diaphragm.

They deteriorate and let bits of crap through the lines.

That or a vacuum leak. You can find a vacuum leak by spraying wd40 around the intake areas and when the exhaust starts to smoke have a Jim Beam, you've found the leak.

my only other suggestion would be the carby butterflies. They are known to wear & stick - I had a similar issue with mine before I upgraded to the 600.
