Default 99 Polaris magnum will not start!!

Hi,
I was plowing snow today in Central PA. We got around 20 inches. My magnum started up great this morning and was at it about 2 hours. I stoped for a break and to check my oil and clean off some of the snow from under the 4 wheeler. When I went to restartit, it cranked like always but would not fire. I fooled with everything I could find for another hour and suddenly something worked and it started right up. I plowed again for a few hours and finished up. It had stalled a few times while plowing but restarted right away. Anyway, this afternoon it came time to put it back in the shed till the next storm and again it would not start. I once again played with the wires and everything else but this time it got me. I could not get it started again, I am sure I have plenty of gas and I tried starting fluid but it would not fire. Any hints on what could be the problem? I know very little about these engines and electrical systems.
Thanks for any help
Dennis

welcome to the forum. did you try starting it w/ the pull cord? did you check to see if the spark plug was firing?
