Would a pinched breather tube on the 70 degree fuel tank cause the bike to lose power nearly straight away?

On the ride today, sometimes when I hopped off the seat or sat back down on it the bike would lose all power and then come back up to full power again.

Checked all the electric plugs under the seat and could not find anything wrong but did notice that the breather tube as it comes out of the tank is pinched, and would be fully closed as I sat down on the rear of the seat or possible as I moved around on the seat. Cannot replicate it without the seat on.

Will fit stronger actual fuel line to the breather and see what happens. May try to fit a right angle joiner there as well if there is enough room.
 
Played around with it again today as I thought it had to be electrics to stop the motor so quickly. Found a cracked tab on the positive battery terminal, causing the problems. Will pick up a new battery.

Anyone using the Lipo type batteries such as Shorai and Anti Gravity in their Berg? Will pick up a Motobatt otherwise.
