Yesterday, I flew to an airport for breakfast and as I turned off onto
the taxiway, the engine quit. It's never done that before. Re-started
fine. Did not quit when I returned to my home airport. Maybe the
turbulence was enough to fix it
I've had that happen, and have been with another small-Continental-
powered aircraft where that happened. Instant re-starts in both cases.
I tend to agree with Bob...carb ice. On approach, with the engine
idling for a bit, the carb heat muff may have cooled down to the point
where it couldn't prevent the ice any more.
If it re-occurs, there are some potential hardware problems that could
going on. Here's a Harry Fenton article on the subject:
