You need to figure out what kind of carburetor is on it, because
that's likely where the problem lies. It's likely a simple lawnmower
style carb. It could be simply water in the float bowl, or things
could be gummed up from sitting. Or the air filter could be clogged
restricting high speed air flow. Unless you're familiar with small
engine carbs, it's probably easiest to take it to a small engine
repair shop. They will know quickly what it needs.
The spongy material is to prevent the gas from turning into a fireball
should the tank come loose and bounce down the track.
