Hello new to the forum. I have posted about a prowler XTZ I just bought on another forum, but it seems here may be a better place to learn about it since it's for prowlers. I'll go ahead and post a link so I don't have to type an essay and y'all will know what has been discussed. Thanks!

Arctic cat prowler power issues




2009 arctic cat prowler 1000. Well I gotta ask now. This mfer ran really strong when I test drove and bought it and drove a bit. Well it started smelling hot, so I did a bit of troubleshooting and found out the coolant is low. So I opened it up and did some major burping to the system.

Finally I put the cap back on and went for a ride. Now no power hardly at all. What should I check for? Is a belt gone? Clutch? Sounds like it's bogging like the power would be going somewhere and it can't be the brakes because it rolls to a stop.

I've already pulled both injectors and watched them spray. They look good. Pulled a sensor (IAT?) On the intake and cleaned it.

I'll also add in reverse or low before and barely tapping on the accelerator you would get thrown around with power. Now not so much. Thanks!

Welcome to the site! I read the other post and hope someone here can help, I just have the old 650 carb model but there are several XTZ owners here that may have some ideas.

I had a spark plug poop out on mine and it did the same thing for no reason.

I had one fail also. I now carry a spare! They just screw on the wire.

My 2009 XTZ 1000 loses power, unexpectedly, about once a year. A new set of plugs restores the power and response immediately. I have never had any other issues with it's performance.

Great to gain some knowledge on the 1000's! I'm still learning that beast! Thanks to all!

Thanks guys! I actually just think I figured out I actually have a wire issue. Supposed to have a guy pick up new fluids, plugs, and wires for me and I'm going to change them out when I get home. Dang I should have found this forum first!

Looks like I'll need a water pump also. Weep hole on the driver side is leaking. Actually almost seems like oil though. I'll be doing some more investigating on that and taking pictures.

Glad you are moving ahead on your Prowler! I can't remember on my water pump if there is a seal behind it or not, but I think there is! The water pump drive comes through the casting behind the pump. From the diagram, all I saw was a 99 cent O-Ring!
