I never heard of a Mobie Matic, but it sounds like you may have a jetting problem. More specifically a clogged idle jet. Up to about 1/8 -1/4 throttle all the gas goes through the idle jet. At around 1/4 - 3/4 throttle the needle jet controls fuel. And wide open the main jet. Or it could be a bad plug. Good Luck!
