Before you too much further, I would sure check out your fuel tank and be sure it is clean. Drain it into a container, then use a flashlight to inspect the inside of the tank. If it is rusty at all, you will continue to have problems, either with enough fuel flow, or with particles in your carb. If it is slightly dirty, then the suggestion of the stand up filter in the bottom of the tank will be a big help, until it also clogs. It really needs to be clean to have a good running car!
