have you checked the fuel filters? there is an in-line one going into the carb, simply disconnect the fuel inlet line going in to the carburator, and clean it out, sounds like possibly it might have debris in it as to not allowing full fuel flow when needed..

just a suggestion as to a place to start

Crappa says will it's 35yr old. sounds like its time for a carburetor overhaul if never been done. But it's always a good idea to start with the little things first. As Hali said.
