Default 2000 arctic cat 500 problems

I've had my bike for about over a year now and for the most part it's been giving me my money's worth. However, lately I've been running into some problems. I'm pretty new to everything to do with four wheelers mechanically so I'm here looking for some help. As of right now, my push start isn't working most of the time. When I do get my bike to start it's by pressing the push start and giving it a little gas at the same time. It hasn't been idling as long as it usually does when first starting up. Then yesterday I went for a ride and got about 2 kilometers down the road and it started spitting and losing power. I tried to turn around and head home but by the time I went down from 5th to 1st it just died and wouldn't start back up. By the time I walked back to my truck and drove to my four wheeler it started back up but I got about a mile back to my house and it quit on me again. Not sure what I need to do to get it running good again but any tips and advice will be appreciated!
