Jet size 1989 model C top carb .101 bottom.094<br />1989 model D and E top carb .098 bottom .096 . When it begins to lose power have someone pump primer bulb, if it picks back up, fuel problem. May be power pack getting overheat, cools down when you shutdown. The 87/89 have problem of spark jumping from coil to block, look on block close to coil for burnt spot. Run at night cover off you can see spark.

The equivalence in Champion is L76V according to my repair bill. I didn't have problems with my BUHX. But I hear a crisper combustion with the Champions. Try 2 Champs on the bottom cylinders and make the comparision before changing electrics.
