I would start by taking the fuel valve/strainer/separator valve out of the tank and giving it a good cleaning. If there are rust flakes swimming around, dump and rinse the tank.
The fuel line needs to be steel, not copper, and routed the most direct, down hill, and as far from the ex manifold as practical. I think this uses 5/16" tubing, the same as the premade brake lines from the auto supply.
There may also be a screen in the inlet fitting of the carb, if so pull it and clean it. Be sure the screen is in the top of the separator and in good condition. Between the 2 screens, there should be no need for an inline filter. Be sure the gas cap is vented. Even if it says "vented", verify that it really is, sometimes they are not, or the vent is plugged.
Finally, you may want to open the carb, make sure every thing is clean and the float level and drop are correct. Be sure the needle is not sticking in the seat, sometimes they do for mysterious reasons, may be mechanically sticking from a worn rubber tip, or from evaporating ethanol.
