Muffler and environs for mud or other clumps. I'm serious here, if it sat a bit, mice make nests. Had shoulder surgery a few years ago, didn't drive my truck for about 1.5 months. When I started it, it was bogging bad, long story short, mice built a nest in the exhaust pipe, Unraveled a coat hanger and fished part of it out. Revved engine and blew rest out with some cooked micelings. Ran great

Can you test compression?
UncleBuck

not sure i have the tools to do that. doubt it's in the engine either. just bought it last year.

Check online for the engine specs, a comp tester isn't that much ($10 for basic and on up for better ones). Also I assume you checked air intake for clogs, impediments

What brand? If you have aluminum cylinders and or piston rings oil is crucial, they get worn/scoured easy

Mine have always been around dogs. My youngest, a toddler, is thick as thieves with our boxer. Best friends.

A year old engine should run like a champ. You're positive you have good gas?
UncleBuck

i was so unsure of it that i bought the ethanol free pre-mixed shit just in case my gas can had remnants of old gas in it seemed to help a little but still cuts out and bogs down at full throttle or under load.
