It sounds like it is not getting fuel. If you are fully covering the intake, that is functioning as a choke and forcing a richer fuel mixture to the engine. I would first check fuel pump pressure. Determine if it is within the manufacturer's specs. If it is not, then either you have a plugged fuel filter, a bad pump, or a power issue to the pump.
