Question Trouble turning over..

Hey guys I have a small problem turning my car on. It seems to turn over but it shuts off right after. I basically have to pump the gas once or twice as I'm turning the car on. Could this be caused by old build up in the carburetor or do I need a new fuel pump? Once it's turned over I don't seem to have any problems other than a slight guzzling sound at low speeds. Like the gas trying to reach the engine. Also lost some power.

You should definitely change the in-line filter and do the SeaFoam thing before getting into anything major
