I'd replace all the fuel lines, flush the tank out, you may have reclogged the carbs again already.

After that, have someone pump the bulb when it starts to bog down, could be pump or clogged carbs again, everything has to be scrupulously clean, that is best done with new fuel lines.

You may have a weak fuel pump.
