Sounds like the main jet may be blocked. Take the carb off, take off the float bowl, unscrew the main jet and give it a good cleaning with some fuel, you should even go over it with an air compressor or can of compressed air, just to get any little bits of junk out, then give it a soak in gas.

Hope this helps,
