Check if the choke is releasing properly.

Have you still got points in this (1987)?

To me is sounds like points gap has closed up or coil breaking done or HT lead.

I would give it a service and renew the plugs, points, Dizzy cap, rotor arm, HT leads and coil. Also clean the carb and make sure the piston is moving freely and has oil in the damper.
