Possibilities then;

Simple, quick and cheap fixes
Clogged fuel filter
Petcock issues
Air filter issues
Bad gas/water in gas? Flush and fill
Use some Seafoam or similar product

More involved fixes but still pretty cheap and easy
Gummed up/dirty carbs (Use the new howto vid!)
Valve check/adjustment
^ This pretty much has it covered.

Most likely it's not getting enough gas or enough air. Bad gas will also give you unusual problems, as will an almost-dead battery.

I recall a similar problem that turned out to be something under the seat blocking the intake.
