My fairly new JD 3320 started belching smoke out of the exhaust and stumbling whenever I try running it above 2000 RPM!

I've never had any problems with it previously. My first thought is to check the air filter(s) to make sure they are not clogged by critters or dust. I didn't check last night since the skeeters were so bad I couldn't stand them. I'll check tomorrow midday.

Any other ideas of what could cause the stumbling and smoke?
