17 sidewinder, td powertrail,4800 miles. I rolled it on its left side off a ditch bank, shut it down quickly. Any ways started it and drove it for about a mile and it died like something was pulling motor down. Tried restarting and it would start fine, then die in about 10 seconds. After waiting about an hour, it would do the same thing, Last try 3.5 hrs later and it ran avout 30 seconds.
Any ideas, I did not lose any oil on the ground or out the exhaust.

Seems like an issue with oil sensor? I believe there is a sensor that will shut the motor down if it loses oil pressure or the pickup is not in oil. Sounds like this sensor stuck.
Any chance the wire to the kill switch is frayed? Mine acted the same way until it finally wouldnt run. I messed it up where the wire comes out of the switch from adding hand guards. I also found oil laying on the bellypan under the clutch after tipping it. Air filter was kind of soaked and there was oil in the air intake.
Td believes oil pump lost prime. What is odd though, it did not show any codes or oil light (after starting) and it ran for about a mile before dying. Going to dealer next week
