I will definitely dump the fuel in the tank and take a look as well as pull the plugs if I have to.
I was gonna use some seafoam this time, but will possibly grab some techron.

Flooding is a possibility also. It would sound different - like the choke is on too much. When it's running poorly you could add some choke to see what it does. Running better with enrichening would confirm a lean condition (assuming it had fuel in the floatbowl to enrichen with).
The plugs will also tell you if it's on the rich side or not.
I don't think Techron will solve the problem, but it's just a good idea to run it once a year. Seafoam is OK, but contains alcohol where Techron doesn't. I have a friend that works in auto emissions testing and has seen Techron remove some heavy deposits on intake valves over the course of one tank. He was surprised - and impressed. That's what sold me on it.
