Check your fuel lines and especially primer bulb for signs of cracks etc. Replace as needed. If all good rebuild your fuel pump.

Those carbs are very prone to clogging of the high-speed orifice that's located above the plug in the float bow. That will produce the symptom you're describing. It could be something more complicated than that, but that's a common occurrence with the 6 and 8 hp engines.

You can, very carefully, clean that orifice with a copper wire smaller than the orifice. That will often take care of the problem.
