When the engine next cuts out check for a spark; easier said than done if you are on your own as you need someone to operate the starter while you are at the back checking a plug for a spark. Suggest you carry a spare plug rather than attempt to remove one and find a buddy to go with you.

Hi Roy, and thanks for the advice. I will surely try that, too.
