Rincon just dies

My Rincon just flat out dies, no sputter, no warning, just shuts off like I hit the kill switch and then fires back up sometimes, sometimes not. I've checked fuel, spark, air, all the basics. This is getting ridiculous. Anyone else dealt with this nonsense? I'm two steps from tearing the whole thing down.
 
Make sure to double-check all your electrical connections, starting with the battery. And how's your throttle control? If you're revvving it like a dirt bike, it could flood the engin. While you're at it, take a whiff of your oil for any gas smell. Catching that issue early can save you a lot of trouble down the line
 
Had something like that on my old Grizzly, it was a loose ground near the battery and it would randomly shut off, no warning, so I tightened it up and problem disappeared

agree! when there's no sputter and it's so abrupt, it almost always points to an electrical interruption
beyond the kill switch itself, I'd be looking closely at the main fuse box connections, the ignition switch, and any ground wires that might be loose or corroded

You've checked the fuel, but have you checked the fuel pump? Check if it's functioning pro0perly and if it does give the right pressure. A falling fuel pump can cause issues.
