My uncle has a 74 suzuki 185gt. He has the same issue you have. His issue is the battery. It won't hold a charge. He charges it overnight and can get about an hour run time or so. And as soon as we get cruising on the freeway (fifth gear, of course) the bike loses a dramatic amount of power. It sputters and eventually runs on one piston. His doesn't die though. Anyway, different animal, but start with the simple things first and put a battery in it.
