I have a 2017 Scarab 255HO Platinum with twin 250 rotax engines. I just started experiencing my port engine is shutting off on its own during operation. It does it at both high and low speeds. If I turn the key off for both engines and restart it starts up without issue. Checked the battery terminals, starter relays, ignition wires, grounds, and have not seen any issues so far with these items listed. Does anyone have any experience with this or know of a possible problem that would make the engine shut down on its own?
TIA.
 
No check engine light? Checked the emergency kill switch to make sure it's not faulty and jiggling?

Hmm interesting problem. Lol
 
No lights at all. The kill switch will shut down both engines simultaneously. It’s just the port engine. Strangest thing! Need someone who has experience to guide me.
