    If it acts like it is running out of gas, maybe it is running out of gas!

    The small fuel line, shutoff tap and the filter screen in the tank all tend to get dirty and plug up over the years. If you undo the fuel line at the carb and turn the gas on, it should flow quite freely. Don’t forget to open the air vent on the tanks filler cap! If it doesn’t flow freely, a thorough cleaning of the fuel system is required.
