sounds like the belt slipping or possibly jumping into nuetral. How many miles do you have on your Prowler?

I was thinkng it was jumping into nuetral also, but it runs fine after the RPM's come back down.
It has 1500 miles on it.

 

I would go ahead and pull off the belt cover, check for any oil in belt cover or on the belt. It should be dry then measure the belt I'm not sure what the tolerances are.

 

When you say it lost power did it just loose speed or actually loose engine power? A little confused when you say it lost power but RPM's had to come down.



I'm still new to the Prowler BUT

If the belt was slipping wouldn't it trip the belt light?

Do these machines have a tip over sensor that could be getting triggered?

When I say lost power I mean it feels like is goes into neutral.
When I hit a big bump the engine will rev with no power to the wheels.
I let off the gas and wait a couple of seconds then it goes just fine.

 

doesn't sound like the belt was slipping, i know when mine did once climbing a hill, it started to feel the cab up with smoke and boy what a sound it made. maybe it wasn't totally in gear?
