I have inspected each connection point along the wire harness and found no issues, from my 2006 Vinson I have swapped over starter relay, complete fuse block assembly problem did not follow to my 06 nor did the problem go away. I have not change out the regulator because all tests show it to be working fine. An additional piece of information that makes me think maybe a diode is bad is I am getting power feedback when I should not. I am going out on a limb saying maybe if the starter at times draws more amps than it should the neutral switch diode could cause the problem I'm not sure. The big thing I want to avoid is purchasing non returnable electronic parts and also don't want to go real deep into swapping parts over from my 06 since when the issue goes away the starting issue may go away for extended periods of time making it hard to determine if I found and corrected the problem or not. This is a true electrical gremlin.

FINALLY ... I was able to get out & try out my new BRP Apache Backcountry Tracks. And all I can say is .... WOW !!! These tracks are AWESOME !!! We do need more snow ... so Please ... PRAY FOR SNOW !!! ...

Being from the East, I would call that good snow cover Mike

@davefrombc update: installed new starter clutch sound is gone. The starter clutch had a crack in it. I imagine thats why it was clacking during turnover. Just wanted to update in case this was helpful. Also changed pick-up coil and ignition coil. I have the primary/source coil but cant figure out how to remove the stator need to be able to flip stator over and tap the source out cant find any info anywhere. Do i need a special tool dont want to break stator windings. After assembly without changing source the bb only sparks once when you start to turn over wil spark once everytime if you wait a few sec inbetween engaging starter. Please help

Likely something in the gearing for the starter. That would be why it was locking up with the starter in place.
