Then, it starts surging almost like the parking brake is on. I have checked the parking brake. That isn't it. It is in working order. I have replaced the CVT belt. I have replaced the fuel pump. I have emptied the full tank and put good non-ethanol fuell in it. What should I try next?

I ran a marine compartment fan with a dryer vent for fresh cool air to blow on mine. Solved the problem. This hot weather we having will cause this. Don't know if this is your trouble.

Need to scuff the faces of the clutch plates, that allows the new belt to seat to the clutches. Search YouTube for Partzilla video on replacing belt, very good video. Was having same problem with my 2015 900xp and this solved my problem.
