Default Throttle going in and out(rapid fluctuation)

while riding in higher gears like 4and 5- going to the higher revs the throttle will cut out like im not giving it any gas- then it gives out again and again and repeats until I slow down. To be clear, I will stay at a pretty consistant speed but the acceleration will cut out and go back in quickly, so its really jerky and annoying. I dont know what the problem is..perhaps its my throttle cable or possibly a carburetor problem or possibly even fuel delivery?
the bike is a 1999 KE100 , 2stroke, with about 2500 miles.
thanks

congrats on the 19 minute fix. Sometimes staying with the "basics" is key. Congrats again.
