Your issue very well is likely the carberator (as you now have new fuel lines).
There are 2 diaphram' inside the carb, a metering diaphram and fuel pump diaphram.
Make sure the primer bulb is not cracked, thus leaking.
Both MUST be FLIXIBLE and NOT stiff what-so-ever. With the old rotted fuel lines,
the diaphrams are likely junk.
On Flea Bay, the aftermarket "HIPA" brand carbs are pretty good and generally don't need any
tuning. OEM carbs are better but costs 2-3x's as much..
If your diaphrams are in great shape, there's either one or two TUNING screws
on the side of the carb. They take a special "screw driver" (kits available again on Flea Bay for maybe $12.00) to adjust.
The screw CLOSEST to the air filter is for HIGH SPEED RUNNING.
The screw closest to the block is for LOW SPEED OPERATION.
When adjusting one, it usually affects the other so you have to tune both.
Generally, adjust the HS first, getting max RPMs, then adjust the LS.
Turning the screw CC RICHENS the Mix, likewise Clockwise LEANS out the mix.
