Kudos to that engine for struggling to stay on! It’s a valiant soul.  
The dirty fuel filter could be starving the engine for fuel. Change it and let us know what happens.

At a years time the condition of the gasoline would also be suspect if it had not be stabilized before storing. If the tank was on the low side, that could have contributed to the problem and you may have some water in that tank.
