Fuel/air mixture screw (air screw) on carb perhaps?? Check you're not running too rich. Check your needle settings, there is a little circlip at the top which has three positions. If it's at the bottom try moving it up to the middle, if it's in the middle try moving it up to the top to prevent more petrol going in than needed.
Just some suggestions as I had a very similar issue, turned out to be the needle settings on mine, too much petrol was being allowed in.

ok i got my m8s bike up thats exactly the same make and runs perfect and this is what i did, we changed carb, coil, airbox, and reeds, and still it does the same thing i really dont get it what else could it be, when i bought the bike it was suposed to of had new piston and rings so i dont think it could be that so i really am at my wits end and have not got a clue on what else to do, cos sometimes it runs ok but most of the time it just bogs out and cuts out.
oohhhh also forgot to mention it back fires quite alot aswell it was that bad it blew the back can of one day

thats quite a big job aint it you have to strip the engine down dont ya, sometimes it runs perfect other times it just strugles to even start without bumping it
i took flywheele of and genorator and gues what ive got a nice rip in the crank seal i went down to my local dealer cant get one till mid week next week and it costs £10 for a peace of rubber lol well i hope it sorts my problem out anyway, thanks guys

right ok i got the bike runnin ok i took it to the track and it was perfect for the 1st 2 hrs then it just coughed and splutterd and backfireing and cut out i really dont get it, it was fine with no probs at all for the 1st few hrs i even thought it was a cooling problem but i let it cool down and then tried again but it was still not having any of it im lost now i dont know what else to try
sounds like youve got no compression, could be a top OR bottom end problem, reeds, crankseels, piston rings etc.
If your lucky you will have just fouled a plug!
