It's the diaphragm! I had the same problem. Be very careful to fit the new diaphragm correctly. There is a gasket on top of the rubber diaphragm. The gasket goes against the carburetor and the rubber diphragm against the petrol tank body. It is very easy to tear the diaphragm when putting in the bolts. I am speaking from experience.

It is probably the diaphram in the carburettor has degraded and needs renewing. New one costs about £5.
