Hi Zanie,

Thank you for the donation.

Get the charging systems tested to ensure it is in good working order. If the battery has been drained, it could be a parasitic drain or a faulty charging system.

With no bad charging system or drained battery, the engine would stall when it does not have enough power to work the system and symptoms is similar to runnibng out of gas.
