I was running the bx1500 just to move it. Was running fine. I was kind of jockeying it into a space when suddenly it lost power and stalled. I tried to start it several times and at first it would catch and stall, but then eventually just cranks without any start. Sounds like it's cranking good. Fuel solenoid looks like it's working. Could I have gotten water in the fuel? It cranks so it's not an interlock. Battery is strong. Do I just have to start draining at the fuel filter and make sure it's not water?

There are 2 filters, push pull or drag it to someplace warm and thaw it out.
Then drain everything and change both filters.

Thanks. I figured that's the best next step. Didn't know there were 2 filters. I appreciate the heads up. May have to wait a week to thaw it out! Brrrrrrr.

JUST a week ? must be NICE to be getting warm weather THAT soon !!
BTW, even it's the case is 'warm to the touch', it'll take a LONG time for the 'guts' to really warm up !!!
Have patience
