Default Help with my 300ex

I have a 1996 honda trx300ex
Its never given me any problems until yesterday when i was ridin.
It seemed to almost act like it was running out of gas, but with a full tank.
Id twist the throttle a bit and it would get goin but would eventually make a sound like running out of gas and cut off.

today i took out the carburetor bowl plug and cleaned that out.
It didnt do anything
then i took off the gas tank and emptied it and messed with the gas filter.
I dont know if that fixed it because it didnt have any gas but does anyone have any suggestions?

make sure you're choke isn't on. I did the same thing on my 400ex and realized my choke was on.

Ya i do
I just noticed today that it runs fine on the road but as soon as i go onto a dirt road or something bumpy it starts to act up.
Almost as if something is getting shaken out of place
