If it's carbed, the accelerator pump in the carb likely went bad. With the engine off, take off the air cleaner and look down the carb. Work the throttle linkage, you should see a fair amount of fuel shoot down the carb. If you don't, the acc. pump is bad. Go to the local parts store and order up a carb rebuild kit. They're only about $20-$30 and will get you running good again. Good luck

Sounds like a timing issue to me. Is the advance hooked up to the dizzy?
