Well you need fuel and that can be restricted in the filters and in the tank. But often a real lack of power can be found in a worn out throttle system. If the linkage is out of wack and many of them are, you are not going to get the power. Just have to check it out and chase it down to make sure that your throttle is open all the way when the pedal is down all the way.
