Default Running rough

Having an issue with my truck a couple weeks ago I crawled it over a curb to get to a back yard and afterwards it didn't want to run right and acted like it had no power. Today I did the same thing and the same thing happened. Truck sounds like a Tractor running and going and when i first step on the throttle it'll act like its gonna go fine for a split second then go back to sounding like a tractor. any ideas??

Jayz Yea thats the conclusion That I came p with based on what everybody said. I have no sense of smell so I dunno bout the gas smell but that'd explain the gas mileage lol Gonna be getting a rebuild kit and Guess its time to learn how to rebuild a carb lol

Does it have a catalytic converter? That might be a spot too.

KInda sounds like fuel then. Either fuel pump or the aforementioned float in carb. Could be sticking closed or some debris is in the way of it coming back down.
