I'd start by dismantling the carb and cleaning the jets

Look down the carb using a torch engine off and open the throttle the small jet sticking out into the air flow should issue a nice steady stream of petrol to accelerate the motor.
If it does not  it is blocked or the pump is not working, you need the model of the carb for a diagram showing the parts.
