I suppose it could be a couple of things. But my guess is your fuel to air ratio. Either too much air and not enough fuel which is too lean. Or too much fuel and not enough air in which case your mixture is too rich. Either way, the fuel/air mixture in the cylinders is not burning correctly and thus the engine is not creating enough power. Needless to say I would check your carburetur or your fuel injection system. Something could be clogged, or if you have modified any parts of the intake or exhaust you may need to retune your carburetor.
