Air filter is dirty thus restricting air flow.

Crud in carb or clogged up fuel filter.

Throttle cable is stretching. (I'm reaching a bit on that one.)

You're gaining a lot of weight by not pedaling.

How are those?

check all of your bolts over, make sure it's still mounted tight to the frame.
Mix ratio?
Chain tension, not loose, not really tight.

well you take out the airfilter and wash in sink with dish soap and water and let dry then put back in. the sparkplug,well just change it.

You can also clean the spark gap with a piece of emery cloth or sandpaper. You should also get a feeler gauge so you can set the gap. Available at almost all hardware and auto parts stores. Of course the correct gap setting will vary depending on who you ask. It is one of those things where just about everybody will have a different opinion.
