First thing I would look at is your anti-siphon valve at the tank. If the valve sticks it will cause a restriction for the fuel pump and it will be unable to suck enough fuel to keep it running on plane. Next check the fuel pump. Pick up a vacuum/fuel pump tester and place it inline with a tee between the pump and the carb. You should have 4-7 psi. If your fuel pump checks out, put a piece of clear line between the fuel pump and carb and see if there is air getting in the line
