Try checking the fuel line. You may have old fuel hose that are prone to
breaks into fragments and they jammed the fuel filter or the way to the
carb. Try checking the fuel flow without the fuel filter on (ignite the
engine while holding the fuel hose, see if you have plenty of fuel squirting
out. If you have many, you should suspect the filter or the rest of the fuel
line up to the carb (there is a chance that your fuel line or carb is
clogged). If you have so little, it may be the fuel pump or it is time for
cleaning the fuel tank.

And of course such problem may be caused by ignition problems too.
