Ok crazy Question,99 grizzly 600.I should know this answer.. we were riding to in 12 inches of snow on the trails..everything froze up...snow packed everywhere..I would be running the road 40-45 mph for a miles or so to get to the next trail and it would stop running,shut off..I did drain the bowl and it still stalled.happen a few times in between trails..I let it sit a few minutes and would run great for a few more miles..it never stalled on the trails though.at the end of the trip I noticed the hose going to the gas cap was plugged(I couldn't suck or blow though it)..vapor locked????? I tried to plug it again when I got home and revved it up in the garage but,it still stayed running never stalled..oh it got worse .I hit a rock and bent the bead up about 3 inches..what a hit...needless to say I rode home on a flat and a stalling problem..should have used the sled today thanks guys BTBG
 
It sounds like you found the problem, on the roads you had gas going out faster than air comming in. Plugged vent or hose. Was the garage heated when you tried to get it to do it again?
 
yes about 40 degrees inside the garage..we beat the bead with a rock on the trail,tying to get the bead to seat...no way...
