Fuel line perished ? Split as you put it down some air went in to lean it out slightly ( rise in revs ) now it wont suck fuel through ...possibly ??

A running enqine needs compression, spark and fuel. Sounds like compression is OK so pull it over a bit and see if the plug is wet and also check the spark but keep it away from the plug hole as you can get some great flames out of the plug hole if it is blowing vapour.

 

Once you know which bit isn't there then it could be a multitude of things but you have to start somewhere.
