I have a ASV RC100... Intermittently it will have no electrical power... Like the battery has been dis-connected... And then, without doing anything, power is back. sometimes it will start, run for a minute or so and shut down. Other times it starts and runs with no issues. I'm thinking ignition switch. Any input would be appreciated

Ignition switch is often the suspect. But check the ground wire (usually connected to negative, thick wire, black color) to from battery to the frame or engine. Remove and clean the battery terminal and also grounding bolt.

You should have "one wire" that feeds the ignition switch that supplies power for the rest of the wires on the switch, it should be "fuse' protected, check for a loose fuse or corrosion and a loose connection on the switch.
And as already stated, check for a good ground from the battery.

OK.... Thanks for the confirmation and the possible ground wire problems..... I will check. I ordered the ignition switch... Thanks again

Grounds, battery posts, loose connections etc all possible problems.

As to the ignition switch; spray some WD40 into the key slot and wiggle the key a bit.
That often clears up switch issues as generally the lubricant gets dry and hard and prevents good contacts.

WD40 is non corrosive and safe to use around electrics.
