I can turn off the key and take the key out and the machine still runs. Shut off with handlebar switch and it kills. Won't restart without key in and turned on and you can hear it power up when you turn key on. It has a Warn Winch, I'm wondering if that's the problem? Seems I recall them having problems in that time period.

Any thoughts?

Seems to me there was a problem with the winch solenoids back then that were staying on when the key was off and some causing fires. I'd start by disconnecting the wires to the solenoid and see what happens. Could be sticking or shorting internally and back feeding through the system.
