Check air filtration (oil bath?) to see if air can come thru filtration. May have water or gas in filtration system. If oil bath, change oil and fill to proper level.
Float may be sticking, at times; sticking open in carburetor allowing too much gas; or may be sticking closed not allowing enough gas to enter the carburetor.
Take intake hose off carburetor and spray WD-40 into the carburetor while someone else is turning the starter over. If it starts, you have a problem with lack of gas. If it starts with the WD-40, keep spraying in the carburetor while engine is running, if engine continues to run while spraying, your problem is lack of gas. You can check fire with a timing light or pull one of spark plug wires off and lay it near the block... turn the engine over.....it will ark to the block if firing. Wire will need to be no more 1/4 inch from the block while checking fire.
Also, check the weights under the plate in distributor to see if they are free to swing outward......these weights advance the timing when motor RPM is increased. If weights are stuck, spray them with carburetor spray and/or WD-40 and work them with your fingers to free them up.
