Might be time for a cab rebuild. No fuel squirt could be an aging booster pump.

Change the filter first and see if there is a change. Use a 1" wrench on the big nut to keep from twisting the line.

Post back and we can help.

Aside from the above check your throttle shaft for play. It should be fairly tight with little noticeable movement back and forth (with throttle open). Bushing it is fairly simple.
