2011 sportsman 500 trouble

First things first, hello all. I hoping i can get some usefull information from you guys on here. I bought a 2011 sportsman 500 in the summer, i have had nothing but problems with this thing. I bought it used from a dealership it had 300kms on it. Its been at the shop 3 times now for the same thing, it won't stay running. It runs for about 15min then just runs like sh*t. It dies as soon as I let off the gas and it spits and spudders, clunks and clangs. Its the biggest p.o.s. I have spent my money on, i try to use it for hunting and i put a plow on it to do the driveway but i can't trust the thing. Any ideas on what this might be as the mechanics at the dealership obviously can't figure it out and its really frusterating. Thanks in advanced guys.

Sounds like the engine is geting too much fuel, or could be a spark issue, need more details on how you get it to run good again?

I'm not sure what they try to do to fix it at the shop to make it run part-time. I just got it back and cleaned the driveway out and it worked fine, i parked it in my garage and went to get it out last night to move some snow and it ran for about 15min. I put some fuel stabelizer in it last night and started it and just kept the throattle on for a few min to get it mixed. then i went out today to see if it worked but it ran for about 15min again then died.
