clogged fuel line or carb.
Take the fuel lines off, blow them out. Replace the fuel filter. Take the carb off, take the bowl off, use a set of torch files (pic related) and clean out the jets. Replace the rubber o-rings and gaskets, especially the one that the float valve rests against. Easiest way to remove it is with a pick. Take the needle valve out, look for the gasket. Take your pick, jam it into the hole and remove the old one. Replace with new.
Now your motor won't skip anymore. Total investment: 1 hour and $8.
