TB240 Honda engine loses power

When starting mower, and engaging drive cable, the engine bogs down and almost stall. The mower starts fine, but loses power. I have replaced drive cable last year when it snapped. I replaced belt,spark plug. Still not running like it should. Last year, one of the last times I used it, it seemed to surge and this is how it runs. Should carburetor be taken apart and cleaned? Is there a throttle cable or something that could have snapped? Any thoughts?
