Not knowing your engines history makes it a tough call, but there are obvious things to check. I assume it's a r/c engine? Check the following, air leaks at carb base, verify the fuel inlet has no blockage, spray bar not blocked or maybe a piece of dirt floating around, O rings on needles in good condition, head gasket not leaking, fuel tank not sucking air. It sounds like a lot but these are really base engine checks. Hope this helps.
