One thought, just to confirm that it really is a fuel starvation problem, is to squirt a bit of gas into the carb while cranking the engine. It should fire for a few strokes then quit. If it does that, then you've narrowed the issue down to the carb.

Removing the carb is pretty self-evident. If this is your first rodeo, take a picture of the linkages so you can put it back together the same way.

Fuel hose, governor link, throttle and choke cables. Then...

Two slotted 1/2 inch bolts on the ears at the carb flange, loosen with an open end wrench, then use a screwdriver to remove, loosen them together, both sides a couple turns at a time. If you loosen only one, it will bind up.

You need a carb rebuild kit, carb cleaner, and a clean work area.
