Same thing on high idle and auto.
Have fuel, fire, and spark. Is there some
Electrical part that I could check out?

Re: Miller Bluestar 2E

Are you certain it's still getting fuel and spark at the moment it dies? Have you done a compression test immediately after it dies?

Re: Miller Bluestar 2E

Will it restart after it dies with minimal cool down time?

If so, I'd be looking at a fuel clog, sunken carb floats, or mechanical vibration causing a short in the ignition system or p-lead
