That car looks like it sat for some time. Is the fuel new? If not, I would flush the fuel lines and fuel tank of the old fuel and install new fuel and a fuel filter and also rebuild the carb.

Fuel line may be rotted out , the pump on the motor is sucking air .
Remove the spark plugs and look at the electrodes. They should be a grayish color. If they're white you have a lean air to fuel mixture (not enough gas). If they're black and sooty you have an overly rich air to fuel mixture (too much gas). Hope that helps! Jim
