Default 1989 B2200 Hard to start/lacking power

Hey guys! I have a 1989 b2200 with about 80k miles on it. Recently it has been having a hard time starting while hot (cranks but wont fire without a little gas) and around 20-35mph it is lacking power and isn't nearly as responsive as it used to be. Any ideas on where to start?

I'd start with replacing the fuel filter and checking fuel delivery amount to the carburetor after doing that. In several parts of the country folks have had rust build-up in the fuel tank, and even clog the in-tank filter "sock".
