Remove the gas tap and check it is clean, check there is no obstruction in the pipe from tank to carb - work methodically from where the gas is right through. In the carb the float valve may be stuck, or float level too low.....

I had a clogged jet on mine once. The ethanol in the gas eats up the fuel lines inside an gunk can float to the carb an get sucked in the jets.

I took it apart an looked like the slow jet was clogged up. I blew through everything to make sure. I'm gonna put it back together tonight to try it.
