Plugged main jet or perhaps a lack of enough vacuum to pull the fuel into the intake. Try removing the jet and cleaning it. (Brass nut on the side of the carb)

clean main jet with a #66 drill bit

If claning the jet doesn't do it, check teh carb and manifold gaskets, a vacuum leak will cause you trouble like that too. :wink:
