Does it cut at idle, fuel level, loose cables, have a root around and come back.

If you rev it while stationary? Does it sound anaemic, only does it when hot?

Welcome to Mud! Almost all the 80s in the USA are fuel injected, so a carbureted 80 is a rare item here. It's that same old formula, air, fuel, and spark. Clean air filter, good fuel supply (pump, filter, carb), and good ignition (coil, igniter, dizzy, cap, rotor, wires, plugs). If it only does it when it's hot and off idle it sounds like a dirty air cleaner, fuel starvation problem (pump, filter, carb), or ignition issue (coil, igniter, dizzy). You're going to find the problem through the process of elimination. Start with the easiest things to check first. Good luck, and let us know what you find that fixed it.
