Plugged up carb? Is the carb from a different motor?
You never win a race by focusing on one aspect of the race!  Motor isn't everything, but you better have a good one!  Chassis too!  But remember, a driver can take a slow machine and make it faster!  I may not have/be the best of any of these but I'm trying!

start with what Chris said carb needs cleaning or it's not adjusted properly. And is it the original carb from the other motor.  Also check for trash and moisture in the fuel tank.
