Couple of other things to check:

If the engine has points, replace the condensor.

Verify that the battery has good coennections at the battery and the engine. A loose connection can cause this problem.

Verify that the fuel line (especially the metal portion) does not contact the engine anywhere except at the pump and carburetor.

Replace the fuel filter in the carburetor, if equipped.
