Default KT series 2 problem

Yesterday, I got the 782 that I mow with, out to mow. Everything was good for about 5 minutes. Then the thing started to act like it was running out of gas but still had half a tank. It stopped but I was able to get it going again by pulling out the choke I milked it back to the shed by pulling the choke in & out. In the shed it seemed to run OK with the choke in at full throttle & then at half throttle but at idle it would shut off. If I would move the throttle down to the point were it would still run & not shut down the rpm's would go up & down Up & down but still run. I did take it back out & finish mowing but kept it a full throttle it seemed fine. But to try idle it would still shut down or just above idle the rpm's would be up down up down. This engine has always run great for me until now. I never had a new one but I couldn't imagine new running any better than this did. It has about 5 hours on a new set of plugs, oil change,& air filter. I did pull the plugs & the left side plug looked to burning perfect the right side plug looked to be sort of black not the same as the other. I pulled a spark plug wire from my other 782 & tried it on the right side but no change on how it runs.
