Was riding Wyoming this weekend and sled ran great, made a pull up a hill and once I got on top and started turning around it died on me. Restarted for a minute or so then died again. Towed back and continued the same symptoms. Got home and tore into it and found and won't start at all now. Found one plug wire on mag side rubbed through by the pull rope. Will one plug wire off shut down the whole works?

That's unlikely,

Do you have a tether on it?

Pull plug wire and put extra plug in and test for spark. Start there

Fixed plug wire and all new plugs, now runs again but back to same situation idles fine the just dies like someone hit a switch. No tether on it. Throttle play seems to be fine. Will unplug TSS next and try that

Now have no spark at all, checked the grounds I can find, tried it with kill switch disconnected, tried with TSS disconnected. Removed my power Commander. Headlights light up a bit so I assume the stator is okay

Take the connectors apart coming out of the stator, and pull on each wire to make sure it is seated all the way in. It wouldn't hurt to pull the stator out and make sure there aren't any broken wires if you don't find anything when unplugging connectors.

thought i read something about the length of the throttle cable was not right on some and is causing this?

I loosened mine up for that very reason. Interestingly, my TPS reading was the exact same with the cable lose enough to be able to lower my bars or raise my bars without an RPM increase or decrease.

Like stated above, check all harnessing from stator and Ecu. Make sure all pins are securely locked into their position in their connector. Every once in awhile I have seen a pin installed with the lock on the opposite side so it can wiggle back even though the connectors are still secure fastened.

Pins all look good from what I've seen so far, will do some more digging tomorrow night, anyone have a good explanation on how to test the stator on these? Can't find any write up on what the resistance values should be on this particular one. Also I may have an M8000 for sale real soon lol

Looking like a stator, have resistance values out of spec on one of the charge coils. Any recommendations on aftermarket stators? Don't want to bite the bullet for a cat one

Kev's stators are better than RM , two year warranty and heavier windings. Downside is you have to wait for his rebuild and shipping out of Canada.

I'll get a stator ordered and hopefully get rolling again. This really left a sour taste in my mouth in cats.. Especially reading all the other electrical issues that people are having.. Someone convince me to keep this thing lol. I got a smoking deal on it so I could probably make a few bucks and get into a Polaris
