Sounds like a gas problem. Since it starts, the spark is prolly OK. Carb problems are always a bear to debug (I assume the tank/fuelline/filter axis is OK from the sound of it). Check the bowls to see if the floats are OK and no trash is floating around. Get another carb from the jumkyard and try it.
