Put fuel in the tank......
Just kidding! Welcome to the forum! I would suggest checking the fuel pick-up filter to make sure it isn't plugged. Next I would check the fuel line for cracks and also check that it has not become soft. A soft line will collapse and shut off as the carb tries to suck fuel through it. If the fuel line and filter are good then I would pull the carb and check the fuel pump diaphragm. Those ofter get stiff and the check valve flaps start curling which kills its ability to pump fuel. A carburetor rebuild kit will fix that problem.
Good luck!
