How quickly is the petrol getting through? Have you checked the tank filter, pipes and carb filter, or even the tank vent?
If its not the fuel its got to be ignition, what type have you got, original contact breaker or have you modified to electronic? How is the spark plug? Is it even the correct type (heat range)?

Check through methodically and you should find the fault.

I hope this helps.

also check the condenser, the spark should be deep blue not pale or white
