.I got a VW bettle that has been slowly gettin.

What other details would there be? When you turn the key on to get the engin to start, it turns dash lights on but wont turn engin over. Then again sumtimes it will try an turn engin over. Bad ignition posibly? Or maybe starters not working right? It acted like it ran out of gas pretty much an now doesnt want to run at all unless you pour small amount of gas into carb then it starts up but only for a secound the idles down a dies out.

Its getting proper fule, the main problem is what may be causing it to start running an then bog out an die. Would my carb be blocked sumwhere an not be letting my fule pump cycle fule to the motor?
Im sorry for all the questions, its just been a brain tease to find out whats wrong, so if questions on here don't work out its probly on the way to the shop, thank you for allyour time! Max

Thank you for the help! That gives me a little more to do now. Many thanks! -Max
