    fuel flow may be restricted from the tank’s inner filter  above  the valve ,

    the carb’s low speed circuit feeding fuel to the top drip holes maybe clogged…..

    first thing to do is clean  & rebuild the carb.. all orifices all passages and blowed with air pressure. (use a keyboard spray can if you have no compressor)

    check for sparks… coils maybe all cracked under the  fw.  points  can be usually cleaned and adjusted  but condensers  may be  bad .

    • replace the impeller if age or condition  is unknown

    all basic  oldies revival stuff   etc… etc…    see articles

     

    As  a AOMCI member  you could have  downloaded  yourself a copy of the 400 page +  johnson red book… it is worth it !! if you plan servicing oldies
