HI Dave

I don't know too much about engines but ive had something similar happen to me some times when I go into 4th gear.

When you say the engine runs great, is that when it is in idle? It could be fuel problems like air leaking into the system or the pump might not be in tip top shape. Maybe the settings on the carb are not right.

I know with mine when Ive put it into 4th gear most of my problems came from the fuel moving around inside the gas can I had hooked up. This was letting the pump suck air into the lines and causing it to stall out.

I would also think that if it was electrical then you would have noticed it earlier when the enigne was idleing.

i hope this helps you out somewhat.
