You didn't mention your symptoms, or what else you have
tried, but here's a couple thoughts:

Disconnect the fuel line from the carb and pump some 
fuel into a clear glass container.  First, you will see 
if the pump can really pump, or if the flow rate is down 
for some reason.  Second, take a look at the fuel in the 
bottle.  Is it clear?  If you let is stand for a minute 
does something start to separate out?  This is like the 
check 
airplane guys do before flying, to prevent those sudden 
silences that can be so embarrasing.

Personally, each time I have tried to blame bad gas for 
a problem, the cause has eventually been tracked down to 
something else.
