Power loss under load
I have a 2003 Trail Gator HPX. When going uphill from 3/4 to full power, engine runs great for 3 seconds then looses power, sputters and almost dies. Recovery at idle takes about 10 seconds to run smooth. Replaced fuel,replaced spark plugs,air filter,fuel filter, cleaned carb and checked jets, checked carb solonoid,fuel pump is good, gas tank vent OK, both plugs have slight carbon buildup but are equal in color,and oil level is between lines. 230 hours on Machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Power loss under load
It's been happening since December and its the same all the time. I drained the fuel by putting the gas line from the fuel pump into a gas can. Pumped 2 gal's out pretty quick so I don't think thats the problem. When I had the carburator off, I put the float in the open position and blew air in the gas line and it seemed to come through the needle ok but I didn't remove it to inspect visually. Maybe I'll do that. Also, when it happens I can get a little help by messing with the Choke. Thinking about the Ignition Moduel, Is there any test for it or do I just bite the bullet and replace it.
Many Thanks!!

Great idea to let it die and check the plugs. I'll see what they say. Thanks

A better answer to your question would be... In neutral at full throttle it will maintain rpm but will start missing. The greater the load (eg.uphill)the more exaggerated the problem becomes.

Well, ran it uo a hill and when it quit turned it off and removed the plugs. Both were the same, dry and slightly white. Removed Carburtor, reinspected all jets, removed floats, needle valve and blew out. Jets are all clean. All seems ok. Carburator overall looks good. Replaced all gaskets. Machine shows a little improvement but today is a lot warmer and that could be part of it. Noticed when in neutral and give it gas it bogs at first then grabs and picks up rpm like my old car when the timing needed to be advanced. I guess the next step is to buy a Ig moduel unless anyone can think of anything else to try first.
