Any contamination in the fuel will cause problems. First port of call would be changing the fuel filter. If that is gunked up too you will need to drain the fuel tank and start again with fresh fuel.

If it is water in fuel, a temporary fix until you clean the tank and lines out is to put 500ml (about a pint I think in the olde-fashioned measurements) of Methylated spirits into the tank. This will make the water soluble in petrol and let it go through to the combustion process and out the back as volumous white cloud.
