If not under a load works fine but when under a load towing or pulling something it will lock into the gear shut off the machine and it will roll back and you can select another gear or it to move

I have a 08 Sportsman 500HO which the motor starts cutting out between 3600-4600 RPM's

Hi Tom:
Sounds like a challenge.
I'd probably check the ignition system if I thought the fuel supply was working properly.
Replace spark plugs - test run
If there is a manual hi speed adjust screw on the carb, have you tried adjusting it at high RPM?
reply as a comment to this post and I'll try to help.
