W New York | In addition to what others have said, check one other thing.
On the right hand bottom side of the fuel tank is the fuel shut off valve, with a steel fuel line attached to it. This shut off has a plastic screen attached to it that sits up into the bottom of the fuel tank. After time goes by, all the sediment in the tank plugs the plastic screen and blocks the fuel flow out of the tank - this can lead to low power and hard time bleeding the system.
Disconnect the steel line, put a bucket under the shut off valve and unscrew it from the tank. Have a new one ready to reinstall. When you pull the old one out, let some fuel run out of the tank with the sediment in it into the bucket. Screw in the new shut off and connect the lines. Try bleeding the system out and see if it is any better.
If not, as others have said, the fuel pump arm can get worn on its end and it also wears out after a while. Sometimes the cam lobe that drive the pump wears out as well.
