  Your wsm Engine might suddenly stop because of insufficient fuel. Check the fuel tank and refill it. Also, check the fuel system for air or leaks. Another reason can be wire disconnection or damage, so check the wire harness, and reconnect or replace if needed. A clogged air cleaner can also cause this issue; clean or replace it. Overheating of moving parts could be the reason, so check the amount of engine oil, the lubricating system, and replace the oil filter cartridge. Finally, improper valve clearance can cause the engine to stop, so adjust it.
