Have you checked for spark on that cylinder when it cuts out? Possibly a bad stator - under the flywheel.
Stator is the first thing I thought!!!
you might also check the spark plug cap...... unscrew the cap, cut the end of the wire and screw the cap back on.....
sometimes its the simple stuff....... but not usually!!!!

it has plenty of spark
I know you have had the carbs off a number of times...... but do you think the needle valve attached to the floats could be sticking once all the brass in the carbs get up to temp..... causing it to block gas flow just to that side???
just trying to brain storm......

Describe in full detail what is happening. Does it run good for ten minutes and then suddenly lose a cylinder? And then still has spark on the dead cylinder?
thats exactly what its doing.i just pulled the reeds out and on the cylinder thats cutting out there was a few peddles hanging open. i also opened the carbs, the jets were clean and the bowl was full of gas.
anyone running vforce reeds? any good?

Are you out riding the sled when it happens or just idling? Having a slight gap in the reeds is normal.
out riding. i fliped the reeds around and now it seems to run fine.
