hi, my bike a 1995 honda elite SA50 turns off at about 25 mph and resumes acceleration at about 20mph, does anyone know what this is?

i would start with the cleaning the carb. That is my guess.

Clean carb, plug chop.

un hook your electric choke by your positive side of battery

Run the bike in choke mode all the time.

does this just make the fuel ratio richer, is it a permanent fix?

I wouldn't consider it to be a permanent fix. I'd consider it a half assed hack.

It makes it richer but not consistently richer across the band. I wouldnt even accept it as a half * hack.

would pulling the throttle needle up solve the problem?

The needle clip also only affects a certain band. The lower you put it, the richer at medium speed.
