Make sure your battery connections are tight and also clean!. Try that first before changing the fuel filter.

I would do both. Remember to use the Napa fuel filter. I forget the # but it is on the parts page. Cheap fixes for under $2. Also I have a similar problem like this, but mine is more advanced.

yes, if you don't have good clean connections it will bog and act like it has no power. Believe me I found out the hard way, luckily when I messed with my positive cable it ran good again...otherwise I thought I was walking several miles back to my vehicle with my quad left in the woods. I took the quad home, clean the cables and posts good with sandpaper and didn't have any problems.

Moto, Blaze, or Moto-Speed all are good options. Do you have the D&M kit?
