If your engine is equip with a carb, check the carb if it has petrol in it if it has no petrol then the culprit would be the fuel filter.

Sounds like you have some rust/scale clogging up the screen pickup in the tank on in the fuel line itself. Try disconnecting the fuel line at engine and at tank and using air compressor to blow it out.
