AFTER COMPLETING A TURN ONTO CITY STREET IT JUST QUIT AS IF YOU HIT THE KILL SWITCH. I WAS 3 MILES FROM HOME AND IT DID THIS AGAIN TWICE BEFORE I REACHED HOME. IT FAILED TO START AGAIN AT THE GATED ENTRANCE. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT HAD LOST ALL COMPRESSION. CLEAR TO ME THAT THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE WAS THE PROBLEM. I PUSHED IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DIFFERENT TANKS OF GAS AND I ALWAYS USE PREMIUM BP SO FAR. *TR
