Narrative:
Left engine stopped upon landing. Aircraft skidded to left from runway to taxiway. Next day I had aircraft mechanic examine engine. He could not recreate the stoppage. After incident I checked mixture rich (it was) and auxiliary fuel pump off (it was). These are the only pilot controled factors which I know may stop a smooth running io-360 engine at idle. No damage to aircraft sustained. No injuries.
