Mike,
You could be running outta gas if the float level is too low. I had that
happen on a Z I had and couldn't figure it out until I decided to make sure
the float level was just right. After readjustment all was well.
Also try pulling out the choke to see if it's a mixture problem.
Just a thought.
Mike
