If it shut off suddenly, I would suspect a short to ground of the ignition system. If one spark failed it would still run but very rough and less power. If it sputtered then quit, I would suspect fuel. Could be vibration induced.
I joined a couple of weeks back. You will not find a nicer, crazier, more well-informed bunch of people any where. These guys are willing to help with any problem you may have with great advice and experience. And just plain fun stuff!!! Welcome
