Yesterday I started up my 820 (3-cyl) to charge the batteries and circulate the fluids, since I hadn't started it in about a month. After about 15-mins of running at about 1300 rpm, it just stopped running, like the switch had been turned off. It restarted right away and ran for about 20 seconds and stopped again. I restarted it a third time and it ran ok for another 10 min or so, until I shut it off.

As I think about it now, it seems that the last time I used it, about a month ago, it also stopped running, and I restarted it and had no further problems.

I know it's trying to tell me there's something wrong. What should I look for before it quits on me in the field and leaves me stuck?

I would suspect it's related to the injection pump. Hopefully it's just the fuel shut-off solenoid that has gone bad, or has a loose wire to it.
