Sounds like a fuel problem check inline filter could also be dirt in the float bowl or a sticky jet. also chck rotor arm & points are clean.

The symptoms ae classic signs of FUEL STARVATION.

Lift pump ... filters ... empty tank? .... dirty pickup strainer .... choked gauze filter (if it has one) at carb fuel inlet ... float needle valve clogged with crap .... main jet chocked with crap ....

Check for a good skoosh of fuel out of pump then strip and clean carb,
