What are the reasons for a van suddenly stalling and failing to start?

The main reasons for a van suddenly stalling and failing to start while driving are as follows. Fuel supply issues: When ensuring there is fuel in the tank, check if there is fuel in the carburetor. If there is no fuel, it indicates a blockage in the fuel line from the tank to the carburetor, which should be cleaned and unclogged. If there is fuel in the carburetor but the engine still won't start, check if the carburetor fuel filter is clogged or if the main jet is dirty. Engine overheating: Excessive temperature and poor lubrication can cause the piston and cylinder to seize, leading to stalling. After diagnosis, check if there is lubricating oil in the crankcase. If there is little or no lubricating oil, inspect the oil pan or drain plug for leaks, or simply add the specified amount of lubricating oil.
