see if tank is full of rust, check lines filter, petcock filter
or float level
might as well also clean out carb
I had issues with a ton of rust in the tank clogging the main line, and slowing down the res line where if I went up hills I ran out of fuel in the bowl
Since I drained, cleaned the tank I have no fuel flow issues
You could have other problems too but checking the tank wont cost you anything to start with
