When this happened to me on my '70 B, it was a clogged fuel line from
crud in the tank. If there's a fuel filter, I would check that first.
Check the float bowls for sediment, and the fuel pump itself. My fuel
pump had quite the accumulation of sediment; I took out at least a
couple of tablespoons worth.
My problem showed up after I replaced the leaking original tank with a
used one that, apparently, still had some sediment even though I had it
boiled out at a radiator shop.
Your symptoms sound identical to what mine were. I tried all those
other things suggested by the other listers first before discovering the
starvation problem.
