Could be several different things. How long since it's last major tune up? Spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, ect. Could also just need a gas treatment ran thru it. Is it going completely dead or just bogging down(no throttle response) ?

It died then started up then no response the lights dimmed and we already did a gas treatment
