I would say the carburettor is worn.Check the brass float,fuel inlet needle,emulsion tube,idle valve and throttle shaft.If the throttle shaft is badly worn you will never get it to run satisfactorily.Buy a carb rebuild kit and provided the rest of the engine is in good mechanical order it should be ok.
