it sounds like a dirty fuel filter or your fuel pump needs replacing star with changing the fuel filter first they are cheap if that solves your problem you got off cheap. another way to see if you are getting fuel is take the fuel line off before the fuel filter and put a hose on the metal end secure it with a hose clamp then have some one turn over the engine remember pull your coil wire off the coil first from the coil run the hose into a bottle or can and see if you have fuel. it should just shoot in at a steady flow good luck
