Kawasaki FR651V bogging down under load

My Hustler Raptor with the FR651V engine has started to hunt and fart under load,when I disengage the deck it works.... this is sporadic.
I went through all the fuel system checks no faults found then I read about the coils. So I trouble shot the coils and spark plugs and that was the problem one of the coils had failed. Changed out both coils, both plugs and now it runs as advertised.
Also I am going to start running premium gas through the mower, been cheap and ran 83 that has probably not been doing the mower any good.

    Thanks for the info, I have same Kawasaki in my Toro Z,  I got new back in 2014.  I also remove the blower housing end of each mow season to make sure all the fins & around the coils etc are clean.    Mine runs like a top. 
    And I only use 100% gas as well.
