Patches, wow I thought for sure some of our clubs great minds could help you out on this one.
It sounds like to me that your carbs need a good cleaning or a rebuild.
If you have Compression and Ignition Spark that only leaves a problem of Air/Fuel Mixture. Most likely you have partial or fully clogged carburetor circuits.
A cheap fix try is to pour a can of Sea Foam into the tank and see if it might break up the cloggs, but this will only work if they are minor cloggs.
You see air passes into the engine through the Venturi, and when the throttle is opened it sucks gasoline through different jets in the carb. If the jets are clogged (NO JUICE - NO GO)
Items in the carb that control fuel mixture are.
Pilot Jet, Throttle Valve - that is the slide that opens and closes your throttle, Needle Jet, and the Main Jet. There are also small holes in the carb that air flows through that can get clogged also.
And yes if the rubber boot or diaphragm is torn that will cause problems also.
