Maybe you have water in your gas tank.  That can happen with wide
temperature swings, as the temperature drops below the dew point,
if your tank isn't full.  Add a can or two of "dry gas" (isopropyl
alcohol, but not the diluted medical kind [1] ). Then wait until
you have used up the tank of gas, re-fill the tank and see if
things improve.
