I would be more suspicious of the drive belt. I know from experience a new belt makes a big difference on my machine even if the old belt doesn't look wiped out.

dont forget they reformulate gasoline every few day's,
whats with this new "nitrogen enriched"crap?
nitrogen is inert, more likely they fluffed the gas up so you dont get a full gallon that you pay for.
yup the gas keeps gettin poorer and poorer ibn quality every day

todays gas also has a tendancy to soak up moisture so water in the gas is more a problem than ever. Does the engine sound like it is reving up ok ?
