carburetor... check that? does everything flow.. and when was the last time you cleaned it? may be gummed bad... or the gas tank is rusted? and hows the pickup tube? is it FRESH gas or is it whitey color or smells funny? check diaphram too

look on ebay for a replacement, check tank rust and soak in stabil or carb cleaner

Sprayed starting fluid into carb, while it ran for a short time I sprayed it with carb cleaner,repeated 3 times and now its running fine again..thanks for all the help

no prob =) maybe a lil buildup of varnish or dirt
