I would check pressure. If you have bad gas I would check the filter it may be clogged. Also take a look at your plugs.

ok so now it only wants to run off a little squirt of starter fluid
also its not flowing any water so thinking water pump
when running it also has no power at all and when you hit the pedal to give it gas it wants to die
