I would siphon that nasty old gas out of the tank. That ethanol crap ruins everything. It turns a nasty yellow color. Then I would change the fuel filter and plugs. Put in new gas and see how she goes. Might not hurt to mist down the plug wires with a spray bottle and see if she bogs down. Could have bad wires.

I agree, sounds like stale gasoline. Next time, fill up with premium and add a fuel stabilizer. The premium will keep better, having a full tank will prevent water condensation, and the fuel stabilizer will give added protection against the gas going stale. HTH. -Jim
