There are various options for this
1. Carburrector overhaul
2. Ignition timing tuning(advancement)
3. Idling speed adjustment.

Obviously you have a fuel delivery problem.
Start by breaking the fuel line loose and give the starter a two second burst.
If you don't see fuel, the problem is either the a plugged fuel line, fuel filter, or a bad fuel pump.

If you do not see gas leaking any place--particularly around the accelerator pump housing--the one way valve in the fuel pump is bad and siphoning the gas out of the carburetor.

you need a carb rebuild or a new carb..sounds like the float is messed up and a good cleaning... no big deal.
