2001 shouldnt have a circuit board. they did away with those around 1998. when you say loose power do me mean electrical or the motor bogs then comes back? if electrical you could have something tripping a circuit breaker or a wire shorted to frame.

if motor related check the spark plug wire/boot. does it do it in neutral? if not then check your clutches/belt. could be hanging up causing the motor to loose power
