Certainly the fuel line restriction is a problem, but it may not be "the" problem..
Sounds like water in your fuel garbage in the carb bowls, or a stuck timerbase. Do you have a water sep filter? have you checked it recently? IIRC the 79's had the push to choke feature on the key i think, when you jump on it, and it starts to die, if you choke it, and it picks up, you have a fuel delivery issue. Also check the fuel pump diaphram for condition, could pump enough to sustain idle, but not enough to keep it running at speed.
