Based on what you described is sounds like your engine was starving for fuel. I would suggest looking at the fuel filter and perhaps any strainers that may be present in your fuel injection system.

hmmmm.....fuel starvation, hmmm maybe too rich? lean?? time to upgrade the ignition. more fuel , more power. but you need something to burn those fuel, aftermarket ignition will help.
