4010 Trans Mule loss of Power

Anyone have any ideas on why I lose power on my 2009 4010 Trans Mule. It starts up fine runs good till I climb a hill and slowly lose power. I shut it off for a few minutes and it runs fine again for a bit. I have replaced and cleaned a lot of parts on it but still the same thing. I have replaced the spark plugs, removed and cleaned the throttle body, new fuel pump and filter, cleaned the fuel tank, rebuilt the secondary clutch. Running out of ideas.

And are sure the drive belt is not slipping as it heats up?
No the belt is new and I have rebuilt the secondary clutch and primary clutch is working and within specs.
Clean the air filter?
New air filter
Does it only do it when climbing a hill?Does it do it on flat ground under full power?
CRAP Gas ??

I just filled up last night, ran about 15 min on the fill. Started up this morning AND poof, the exact same problems. Idles ok, NO POWER at all after about 1 min at best. I'm hopping all the stuff I just added to the tank will help clear it up!!! :(
Any update on this issue, mine is doing the same thing.

Hi.

I´ve a Mule 4010 2014. The same issue, lose power uphills. I decided to change both coils for OEM ones. Also, replace fuses and clean electrical connectors. After this, the problem was solved. Before this I changed the fuel pump, cleaned the throttle body, changed spark plugs and nothing.

I hope this will be usefully.

I 2nd what Icoh1971 said. My 2018 4010 had intermittent low power as if in limp mode. Thought it was in limp because DFI light came on. Turns out it was just not firing on the front cylinder. Did find the ground connector to that coil to be loose, but by then I had gotten a new oem coil so I put that on too. Problem fixed, mule runs much better than anytime since new. I also had tried everything else first with no luck. DFI never did have any codes
