Question Rough Running 6

I have been having trouble with my 6. I start it up and let it warm up before taking it out. I run's good once I get up in speed but from low speeds and dead stops it chugs and I have to floor it and then it finally stops chugging but then once I slow down it does the same thing again. Could it be the plugs?

Check the carburetor hold down bolts to see if they're snug.

O.k. I'll check that, could using unleaded fuel cause this to happen?

Sounds like a plugged fuel filter or crap in the carb.

Thanks, I'll have to get some carb cleaner and a new fuel filter and give that a try.
