Weird loss of power take a look

Post by baha_boy »

So i hit the gas and speed up to 40 and then let off the gas to coast for a bit but when i go to give it gas again and it will not rev up any higher than the coasting speed. opening the throttle did not make it rev up at all. it only does this once in a while but usually motor is warm. any ideas?

Greetings:

If the engine seems to "make an effort" but the RPM does not climb, I'd consider the transmission. Is it possible the rollers are "stuck" in a pinch between the ramp plate and the casting? Check the driven pulleys for binding or a weak/broken contra spring too.
