Could be anything. Fit a new plug, if that doesn't cure it, clean the carb out. If that doesn't work, you need to delve deeper, things like the regulator, coil or CDI may be giving trouble.

Pyromaniac here. The fuel strainers for fuel/reserve @ the petcock on my 220 become clogged if it sits much at all. Pull your fuel line going to your carb, with the fuel turned off. Then remove 2- 10mm bolts that bolt the petcock to the fuel tank. These strainers become clogged with a white material that looks or what I believe to be parafin in the fuel. I bought mine new in 2000 and its happened twice. My next step would be to check float level.
