Change your fuel filter that may help if you all ready have not. Check your plugs for any type of build up on them Or just change them to if you all ready have not. Take your top off your distributor cap and check the bug. Check your coil pack. Check your air filter a clogged up air filter will drag a machine to its knees. Make sure you are getting a blue spark coming from the plugs not a orange or red in color.
