Default Performance Issue-98 Evo-Carb

Intermittent issue; riding, or after starting, the motor goes into a mode, where it seems it is running on (1) cylinder, puff, puff, puff/ROUGH idling...will last from 30 seconds to several minutes....I can rev it for whatever, it does it until...seconds/minutes...then the mode changes( can hear the motor change tones) and it goes into a normal idle...

Thought it was bad gas, water/condensation, yet, I believe it may have to do with an ignition/points issue?

I need some expert assistance, as shops guess, as does everyone else....
Owned for 8 years
Problem started several months ago, and acts up....every few times out riding, yesterday it started on the freeway and lasted for 5 miles

Single fire or duel fire? Could be coil or ignition going...
