Default 6.5HP engine loss of power on bumpy ground

Hello I have a 6.5hp Briggs and Stratton engine on my Manco intruder 606, the engine runs great and has lots of power, it's able to pull me (about 200lbs) up some steep hills.

My problem is I have a loss of power when I'm on bumpy terrain, If I'm riding on smooth ground everything is fine, but as soon as I go off road I get power loss as if the engine wants to die, then it picks back up... The engine has never completely quit, it just looses lots of power.

I thought I had a Low oil sensor, but I took my case cover off and I don't have one, I also removed the governor while I was in there. It seems as if while I'm riding I'm flicking the on/off switch to off then quickly turning it back on before it dies. I don't know if it's a spark issue...

My brother has the same issue with his Tecumseh 6.5 also.

Any help would be appreciated...
