adjust the slack of your throttle cable in the throttle housing on the handlebars {etc} should be just a little bit of slack,not much.

Do you have a stock air filter on it? If they get wet they plug up. Dose it run better with the choke on? If it does then it is a fuel problem. It could be frozen like you thought also.Try replacing the plug.

the plug was the problem,i think it might be too rich...it was almost black in color.
