Default Yamaha Timberwolf Problems

I have a timberwolf that we got stuck and after some aggresive forward and backward motions we got it out but had no power. Did not think much off it and parked it. When I started it up last night for the first time since the incident it started fine and idled fine but when I try to accelerate it dies out on me? I drained the bowl and check the gas line and vent cap for obstructions and found nothing. Anyone ever had anything like this?

Thanks in advance and my kids thank you in advance!

Eric

Does it seem like it's the fuel cutting out, or possibly an electrical issue? You can usually "feel" what is causing it to cut out if you've been around these engines enough.

If I had to guess at what I feel I would say the electic is cutting out. I was guessing possibly coil but it starts and idles very nice so how would it only cut out at higher rpms?

Drop the float bowl and look at the main jet. Theres probably a piece of crud covering the hole. Look at the inside of the float bowl too, is it clean, or is there a bunch of crud and particles in it?

Sounds like it might be the parking brake rev limiter stuck
