Check ya air filter for any blockage any oil on it anything like that. I remember with the old B&S engines around that era needed the air pick up to be partially soaked in petrol to run any good. Give it a try see what happens. How old is the spark plug in it! Might be dirty give that a clean with a wire brush. on top of that check for anything that may cause a fuel blockage. Regards Anton

G40's and possibly 42's can have a large diaphragm in the carburetor that can fail with time and cause problems. Worth checking.
