Put a light on it to see where it's at.

I'd personally look at several other things as the cause.

Good luck.

Sounds like a run on issue. Perhaps you have a carbon build up issue and your engine is trying to run like a diesel. Get some additives to clean up the fuel system. Perhaps try running a few tanks of better grade fuel through the engine for a while.
