First things first, change the spark plugs. Drain the carb, there is a drain screw on the bottom, take a look at what comes out. Since you are short on time, might try to spray some carb cleaner through the carb, kinda sound like the small ventures' may be clogging up since it has gotten progressively worse over time. May be time for a good carb cleaning. Why did you order a fuel line?
