Sounds like a typical dirty carb problem.  Jets get clogged with crud and varnish.  The varnish is something that gas leaves behind when it dries out.  Take the carb off, take it apart and clean every part.  Don't use carb cleaner on rubber parts, they can get soft or turn to mush.  I use strands of copper wire in the jets.   Don't take apart the carb body.  There's torx screws inside the carb, don't remove them.  Soak the carb body and rubber parts in Pine Sol.  Rinse with hot water and blow out with compressed air.  Check the tank and fuel line for crud also.
