Tygon shrinks and get stiff and brittle over time. And I will not use Stabil due to the issues with residue when it goes bad. Supposed to stabilize fuel for up to 2 years, but the product expires 2 years from opening.Don't run well on water. Problem with stale ethanol. Fuel lines are probably gummy too. Time for Tygon fuel lines. They don't degrade.
Take the carb apart and soak it in Berryman's B12 Chem tool. Tell the owner to add Marine Stabil (blue) to the fuel. Makes it last longer. I have a similar Champion but it has a fuel shutoff and I use it.
