Try this it worked for me last year. Turn the ignition off and open the fuel cap , just to relieve pressure. Now push lightly upwards on the bottom of your fuel line and feel the loose it has. When you feel that your good to push up on the quick disconnect (silver par) that will separate the two. Now carefully re-insert the fuel line and it should fire right up. Apparently the cure is to change out the quick disconnect, the part is about 75$ in the states.

Yep, as stated above. It's a bad fuel valve. They have been having issues with them, no specific models. Just one of those things that go on. Just pop it off like you do an air chuck on an air hose. Then pop it back on and it should fire up and run, but it will quit again who knows when??. You need to replace it.

Dude i'm so glad you got it! If it happens again just pop it again! mine's been going on close to a year now! Ya never know when it will cut off, I have all the parts at my H-Dealer just waiting for some unseen moment when i will bring it in for them to change it out. It's not that it's that hard of a job but if something fuxxs up I'd rather it be in their hands!
