EXT 580 Stator

if my stator goes bad, is it a catastrophic event or could it be an intermittent problem? if my sled stalls constatnly only when warm, could it be the stator? coils? its getting fuel.

Stator. Pretty common problem on the Cats. You can have them rewound, or just buy a replacement. www.rmstator.com has them.

You can test the stater for resistance with a decent multimeter to know for sure. I will grab my manual from the shop later and tell you the resistance values on which wires if you need it.
