How do you mean 'fading'?? Losing power gradually, or just not having the power ever??

Could be fuel starvation, either by not enough fuel pressure/volume at the pump; clogged fuel filter; gummed up jets - passages - etc.

Issues solved. ...the cause was bad petrol from the petrol station. ..tank drained .

............. carbs are being rebuilt with new everything ....on the plus side I now have new coils /spark igniters /cam belts and tensioners and springs soon be back on the road

First thing I do on any repair with starting or running issues.

Is dump the fuel.

Whither it's a weed trimmer, lawn mower, bike, farm tractor or airplane.
You never know what's in it and how fresh it is.
