Default dr350 intermittent smoking and power loss

Hello forumites,
I'm stumped over what my bike ('90 DR350) did to me today. After about an hour of trail riding, cruising up a dirt road in 5th, it began barfing a bunch of smoke while losing power. The bike died, but started back up pretty easily. It spewed more smoke for a minute, but cleared up and ran good for another 10 minutes, then it did it again. But there were no bad sounds and it seemed to be pretty undamanged. Any ideas? Thanks. Matt.
