Stalling No Power Problem

I have a 05 Ranger XP On the last few long rides after about 40 miles or so I will lose power and it acts like it is starved for fuel or out of fuel. If I turn it off for just a few minutes it will start right up and runs fine.
I have changed the fuel filter and I always clean and check the air filters
Anyone had the same problem or any Ideas on what is going on

I have not had the problem yet. If you have changed the fuel filter and ruled that out you might be looking at a fuel pump

Check your gas tank vent line. Crack open the gas cap when it starts doing it and see if it runs better.

I agree with Curt. I've heard of folks having clogged vent tubes.

did that fix the problem? I am having the same problem. It started after a light mud run. Will run fine then just quit...turn key off then after a min or so it starts up and runs again????

I agree with them on this, I have seen this happen numerous times on atv's and a clogged vent hose or clogged gas cap was the problem.

Rangers are notorious for clogging the fuel tank vent line. The right rear wheel throws mud right up on it. A friends tank imploded because of a clogged line. We had to blow air into the tank to get it to come back to shape.
