Sounds like you've got a spark dropping out, borrow a set of ht leads, coil lead included(if it's even got a dizzy) And see how you go.

Sounds like time for a good Tune Up
Try checking Spark plugs , Air & Fuel filters (replace if needed). Check the timing & fuel mixture(adjust if necesary) , add some injector cleaner to tank.
Part of good diagnostics is to eliminate the basics first. If & when engine is in good tuned state and problem still present you can look a bit further by checking Ignition leads , dizzy cap & rotor , wiring connectors for moisture & looseness etc
If you don't have the apptitude or ability to do this your self or have a "mate" then it's off to the garage
Good Luck
