You need to check the fuel supply. Gas tank vent, hose, bulb, fuel pump, carb. There's a plastic cover on the fuel filter that comes off with one screw that has a screen behind it that can get plugged easily. <br />It's always a good idea to check the plugs and replace if needed, Check the compression(130-150), and see if there's spark to all cylinders. This will give you the general condition of the mechanics of the motor. <br />It does sound as if you are not getting a good supply of fuel so if you need any specific info check back, or and get a manual. These problems can normally be repaired with just a little patience and quite economically...just a Thought
