If it were me, the first things I'd be doing are verifying the carb's settings (mixture and idle), checking points/gap, and timing.

What carb are you using? How long since rebuild?

Are your valves properly adjusted? I think the standard is every 3000 miles. My power decreases as clatter increases.
