Jim,
This is the classical symptom of a restriction in the fuel line causing
fuel starvation. Take loose the fuel line from the tank at teh fuel pump
and see if fuel flows freely out. If you get a mere trickle then you have
stuff in the line that ain't gas. You gan back flush it with compressed
air and clear the obstruction temporarilay to verify this is the case. If
you find this to be so then check the tank for rust, etc.
Good luck
Dave
