Usually an ignition problem. Check your timing and then test the coil and ignitor with a multimeter.

Could also be an exhaust leak. Exhaust isn't one constant flow, it's a series of pulses and actually sucks oxygen in which ignites in the pipe.

I have more ideas but try those first and report back.
