Hello, just need some help regarding a toyota KE70 I recently purchased, the car has been sat for a very long time and the issue in having is it hard to fire up, If I use no choke its doesn't want to start, if choke is used half way is rough idles and if the accelerator is pressed is just cuts off, if the choke is fully out the car runs but only for a few minutes before its cuts out and pressing the accelerator makes no difference, all help appreciated in advance

The fuel isn't old I put a new fuel In before starting it also I can see fuel coming through the inline filter which looks clean

Those are pretty classic symptoms of fuel starvation.
The problem with old fuel is that the finer parts of the fuel evaporate over the years and you end up with a tank full of sticky tar-like substance. Just adding fresh fuel to the tank isn't always enough, sometimes you've got to clean out the tank and clean the fuel lines and filters.
What really gives the game away is the 'pressing on the accelerator' bit. As you add air the mixture leans out too much and the engine dies.

Those aisin carbs are notoriously troublesome, try getting a rebuild kit or try a carb off an engine that's running sweet. Weber 32/36 Is a nice upgrade
