My TBX suddenly decided to not pull its self when I was coming up out of a ditch. The engine was running half throttle or more and I wasn't moving so I let off and got pulled out. We pulled it down the road with the motor running and it wouldn't even pull itself for about 5 minutes then it started acting more normal but still doesn't like HIGH. It slips when starting out. Is there any way to adjust this

 

Did you ever find the answer to your question, I am having the same exact problem
A/C 2002 500i 4x4

 

WTB, if your belt is slipping you can resurface it. Just remove the belt and use a wire brush to remove the glaze from the sides(were the belt rubs the drive sheaves). Easy fix.

 

Could this maybe fix my problem too? Is my belt slipping???

My wife and I were out riding last weekend, we came to a 10 inch rut(we were in high, 4x4) and the front tires went down in it, then stopped in the rut and I give it gas to get out and nothing happened. The engine revved up only a little bit even though I had it floored. I did put it in low and then it got out, but I expect that is should be able to get out in high. My dad's 2000 Arctic Cat 500 auto sure could have. Any ideas what happened? Oh, when I turned the engine off it made this noise like it was releasing pressure, not really dieseling of the engine but something like that. I have 130 miles on it.

 

Catterman, I doubt a 04 400 has glazed the belt already. If you had two people on it and put it in an awkward postion it probably bogged down in high. If your belt was slipping the motor would've revved way up, from what you posted it did not. 2000 500 auto's were tanks they do go thru everything, they were geared to pull and they do, but they lacked top end speed. I don't know what your noise is, but I have heard complaints of an "exhaust hiss" when hot. I would not worry to much about it, just ride and enjoy.

 

Hey Arctic thanks for the heads up.. Your right about the pulling power, my 2002 5001 4x4 pulled a full size chevy 4x4 stuck in the ditch up the the axles,, It's a brut.. Thanks again
