Your problem is fuel related, or rather lack of fuel related.
There is a drain plug in the bottom of the carb. With the fuel valve open, engine off, remove the plug, catch the flow in a clean glass.
The flow should start strong, then taper down as the bowl empties, but continue as a stream, not slow to a drip or stop.
If there is little or no flow, the fuel is not getting into the bowl. Start tracing the problem back toward the tank. Some carbs have a filter screen at the fitting where the line connects. There is a screen above the sediment bowl, and a tube inside the tank where the valve screws into the tank. Be sure the tank has a vented cap. Try loosening the cap, just because it says vented doesn't mean it always is.
If you do get good flow, look at what is collected. Check for water, rust flakes, trash. If it came through the carb drain, then it is in the carb. It can easily be disassembled and cleaned. There is also a main jet adjustment. Be sure it is open about 1 1/2 turns.
