Do you have an oil PSI gage in the wheeler? If so keep an eye on it as the engine sputters. If the needle bounces, what I am about to say comes into play. If you're running a Briggs, (especially Vanguard) note that they have an oil PSI sending unit that is wired in with the ignition system. If the oil PSI gets too low, it will cut out the ignition. Depending on where your sending unit is could make a difference. If it is in front of the engine (Nose up) while you are going up this steep incline. all the oil is at the back of the engine. if the pump picks up any air at all, it won't provide enough pressure to open the switch. (switch is normally closed with engine off or no oil psi. Grounding out your ignition system) Unplug the sending unit and try it again to see if it makes a difference. Even if you're not running a Briggs, but have the oil sending unit on the engine you hae, this still carries some merit. 45 degrees is a steep incline, and that is one of the advantages of a two-stroke over a 4-stroke when it comes to things like this.

good thought, Jeff, I'll check that out............
