Check your points gap and condition, check the spark quality at the plug end of each wire. Sounds strange, but weak spark can cause the same symptoms you describe.
If spark checks good to the plugs, then move to the fuel system.
With the fuel valve open, engine off, remove the drain plug from the carb bowl, catch the flow in a clean glass. It should have a steady flow, not slow to a drip or stop flowing. Look at what was caught, check for water and trash. If fuel is contaminated, chances are the same is in the tank and carb. Trying to run with a dirty, rust flaking tank is a losing proposition! It needs clean fuel to consistently run well.
If that checks good, revisit the carb, sounds like the main jet is restricted or set too lean. Fuel passages need to be scraped clean with a wire or torch tip cleaner. Cleaners and compressed air will not get them fully clean!
