Some additional info would really be helpful for people to try to understand your issue. More detail is better.

Fuel starvation?

Being new here, you should understand, there is lot of good advice here, and there is a ton of speculation, but none of it matters (and you should disregard it), if you don’t give any details. Eliciting advice based on nothing more than “need help with possible reason for my engine out” doesn’t tell anyone anything about what we can help you with. There can be countless reasons for your engine to quit (out). Please give us some details. Many folks here would like to help.

Ha! Nailed it. But please, tell us more about how a problem with fuel, spark or air can cause an engine not to run. In detail of course, with pics and diagrams.

My engine went out yesterday also. Interesting note, it was in front of the hangar and “someone” pulled the little red knob out. My mechanic said that was no relation. Any other ideas??

Troll?

Most likely. But sometimes it's fun to feed the trolls.

Ship the engine to me. I’ll look at it.

This is so much more entertaining than helping someone with an actual problem!

Maybe you were posting from the cockpit at a few thousand feet agl?

Why do people here even respond to this obvious troll? When I hear an Ass out in a field braying at me, I don't feel there is a need to bray back.

You should “moo” back and confuse the ass.

OK, enough fun, point made.
Closing this one down in the interest of keeping it VAF-civil.
