Try loosening the fuel filler cap - could be fuel starvation from vacuum in fuel tank.

Hi,
At that age you are likely to need a #393397 fuel pump repair kit. It is housed in a rectangular area ar the fron tof the carb and held together by three small screws with 1/4" heads. Disassemble carefully to see the order of the parts.
Peace,
