That has happened to me twice with my Trailblazer. Firts time it was a blocked fuel filter and the second time the belt was slipping. The fuel filter had a hesitation or sputter and jumped as the fuel got through. The belt just made it jump as it slipped and grabbed.

Define bucks and jumps ?

did the fuel line and belt help?? it just kinda seems like it loses power and it jumps enough that the whole machine feels like the rear end it comeing off the ground. but if i kinda father its alittle better

From what you a describing it sounds like a fuel issue. Either the filter or the carb needs to be cleaned or adjusted. Also check the plug to see what kind of condition that is in. The plug will usually show if you have a lean or rich fuel problem.

It could be fuel, but my gut says it's a belt/clutch issue. When was the last time you checked the belt? How many miles are on the belt? ------I only suggest the belt because my sled acted the same way. 04 Polaris 700.....that sucker would rip-it off the line then lag off and vibrate like crazy, like it was loosing power from the motor. I did'nt check the belt until it exploded during our usual "field races". Glad I had a spare! When I changed tto the spare I saw how dirty the whole area was with rubber debris. New belt and cleanded evreything up and it screamed again. I'd be checking the belt and sheeves on the clutch and secondary. Make sure the belt is in good shape & within specs & that your sheeves are clean.
