Default LT80 Loses Power

I have a '97 Suzuki LT80 which runs like a dream when it is cold. As it is heating up it loses power to the point where it struggles to idle and eventually cuts out. Any suggestions or ideas for the reason and remedy will be appreciated.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Do a compression test on it.
Have you done anything? New plug? Cleaned the carb?

I have replaced the plug and the air filter, as well as new fuel filter, nothing else. Still same problem.

Try taking off the gas cap when this happens. If it gets better it's not venting right.
