My guess is it needs a tune-up and if it still acts up take a long look at
your carbs.

A little long distance diagnoisis from the list....  My 70 Midget
(1275,points, all stock)runs fine for a while, but after it gets good and
warmed up/hot (usually 15 or 20 minutes), it develops a miss and loss of
power at low speed.  I mostly notice it speeding up after turns, around
2000, 2500 rpm.  My guesses are bad gas, dying coil (its a blue Bosch I put
in 10 or more years ago).  The points/condensor aren't new, but don't have
many miles on them.  Same with the plugs, cap & rotor.  I don't think it's
overheating, since it never has.  However, the magic is gone from my
capillary tube, so I can't be sure.  Any suggestions/ideas?
