    blocked jets more than likely.

    take the float bowl off as you would a normal 2 stroke, leave the top of the carb alone for now as thats where the diafragm is, best to leave it alone unless absolutely necessary.

    exactly, fuel goes 'gunky' after a few months, so this could be in the float bowl and needle and jets.

    it could also be a tight valve, check the clearances (about 4 thou should do)
