Farmer Brown gave you good advice. I generally start with fuel to eliminate this possibility. Remove the drain plug from the fuel bowl in your carb and drain it into a pint jar. There should be a steady flow that fills the jar in about a minute or so. If you don't have that, then I would check the three fuel filters in the system to see if they are plugged with trash:

I get my tune-up parts from my local Napa because they have been better quality than the online parts from the "land of almost right." I would also recommend you replace your plug wires unless you can tell they don't have a lot of hours on them.

Come back and let us know how things progress and we will walk you through the process.

Best of luck with it......Ed
