On a 70s model induro what would cause the bike to bog down after about 50 - 75 feet? The bike starts fine and idles perfect, all the way to red line, but when you put it in gear and start to take off the bike dies. Sometimes you can pull the clutch in and give it some gas and it will keep running, but not all the time. I've cleaned the carb, but maybe it needs cleaned better? I have not changed the spark plug though.

bad plug,
clogged air cleaner, can't handle loads,
loss of resistance in ingnition so spark can't take a load.

Is this a 2 smoke or 4 stroke?

If it has a metal gas tank, see if there is rust in there. If so, clean it out and put an inline fuel filter on it.
