    If your Predator Engines engine stops suddenly, the possible causes include: * The fuel tank is empty or contains impure or low-quality gasoline: Refill the fuel tank with fresh 87+ octane stabilizer-treated unleaded gasoline, avoiding gasoline with more than 10% ethanol. * Low oil shutdown: Fill the engine oil to the proper level. It is important to check the engine oil before every use. * Defective fuel tank cap: Test or replace the fuel tank cap, as it may be creating a vacuum that prevents proper fuel flow. * Faulty magneto: Have a qualified technician service the magneto. * Disconnected or improperly connected spark plug cap: Secure the spark plug cap.
