On the the assumption that you have tried to adjust the mixture without success and that both the needle and jet are not worn, or the needle bent, or fitted incorrectly, then cleaning the suction chamber and piston carefully (do not use any emery or similar abrasive) may help if the piston is sticking a bit. Maybe the air cleaner is choked?
