Ian, In addition to what Rusty and Pappy have suggested, you might also check to see if the float is operating properly. If it is sticking in the up or closed position, or partially closed position, then you may not be getting enough fuel in the carb bowl to keep your engine running. You might try soaking it overnight in carb cleaner as opposed to gunk, as carb cleaner will cut the varnish that also could very well appear after 13 years of sitting idle. If you have good fuel flow through the line but no flow from the drain valve in your carb, that would be a good indicator. The thing is to not knock the carb around much while performing these tasks as you can jar the float loose and get a false reading of the problem.
