I had a similar this year, an '02 800 started up on the trailer to warm up and it died on the trailer didn't even get off, got it home checked everything twice, had no spark and ended up being the stator.

After you said this I though about it the sled ran fine the I came off a sidehill on to the trail and hit the kill swithch really hard and killed my sled. Not long after that, all this started happening. I pulled the switch today and it had popped the bottom cap off of just slightly and made just the tiniest bad connection put it all back together and she fired up in three pulls. and has been idling for 10 min now with no problem.

The worst in all of this is I also busted my spring in my re-coil so I have been having to clutch start it.s
