Main jet in carb has trash in it if thats not it its the cdi box is fried I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE and i went through 3 or4 cdi boxes befor i figured out it was the main jet in the carb
dont quote me on this but i think its the one that the needle goes into its in the middle of the carb but i suggest just empting a can of brake cleaner in the whol carb synce your gonna have it appart anyways the cdi is under the nose piece there will be 2 plastic boxes and its the one that has the indiviual wires and if i remder right theres abbout 5 or6 of them ITS ONT THE ONE THAT JUST HAS 3 WIRES or the one that has 1 blue wire and1 black wire
Once you take off the bowl on the carb the main jet(brass in color with a number on it eg:230) is sitting right there with a white piece of plastic (splash guard) around it.
What happens when the quad stalls? Does the engine rev high and then quit or bog out and quit? Does it do it at idle, when you have the throttle in, or either?
What do you do to get it started again? Let it sit for a while?

carb cleaner alone doesnt fix much, you need to disassemble the carb and clean each part carefully
Just take your time. I like to take pictures when I am doing things the first time just in case, to aid in reassembly. Also laying the screws,bolts, etc in the same pattern as you took them out can help too.
Here is a good DIY with pictures:

I just leave the TORS on the quad. Unscrew the big grey cap onto of the carb and then take the cable and slide out then remove the carb.
You don't have to do every step in that guide, just do what you are comfortable doing and it will be better than nothing.
First thing you need to do is find the linc to the download manual on here http://www.blasterforum.com/general-support-17/downloadable-yamaha-blaster-manual-17325/ . Next, look for utube vid by member jlsparky on carb cleaning
This might also help you http://www.blasterforum.com/do-yourself-20/how-remove-your-tors-655/
Start with a good clean area to work on and not lose parts. Piece of cardboard works good. Clean any excess dirt from off/around the carb before you even loosen one clamp.

I use Berrymans carb dip, 1 gal can $20 at Auto Zone. DO NOT soak any plastic/rubber in that stuff. Even spraying EVERY hole you see with carb cleaner/ compressed air will work. Be sure you remove air screw AFTER you turn clockwise to see how many turns to reset it, and pilot jet. Make sure you can see thru pilot jet when done. At this point it wouldn't hurt to check petcock screen in tank, maybe even flush tank.

These seem like symptoms of fuel starvation, or an air leak.
The petcock filter could be dirty, crap above the needle and seat, and/or in the float bowl.
If possible perform a leak down test to see if it is airtight.
