It's probably that great EFI we've been hearing about is so much better than carbs and whatnot.

I would guess it is a ignition system problem.Were you getting a spark? Could be a bad ignition module.

RE: 06 1200L just died on the road!!!!
That sucks! I had about 750 miles on mine when it did that to me. Was hot as hell outside and I pumped gas in fast and then wason a bumpy road. Best anyone can figure is that I got a vapor lock of some sort. 7,000 miles later, ithas never happened again. Hope it is something simple. Keep us posted!

Seeing as how it's an '06 it must the great carb.

Ooooookay, well, then it's probably that great electronic ignition we keep hearing about is so great, ahem (which is at times, actually).
Geez, I thought the EFI crap started in 2006... If it's the carb, well, then at least it's getting great gas mileage right now
... and at least it will be easy to fix, and cheaper, too... maybe it's the petcock thing, those do have some problems, seriously...
