[QUOTE="bflosab, post: 78841, member: 11322"] I have a Bobcat 453 with 1213 hours...bought it with 950 hours in 2003 so its been gently used over the past 10+ years. Over the weekend, I tried using the machine for the first time in about 6 months. Had it running 1-2x during that period just to run it. We changed the battery, it fired up, and ran nicely. I was going into some woods, up a slight incline, and it just died. I got out and noticed the rear door was open. I closed the door thinking there might be a safety switch activated but it wouldn't start. It cracks strong but doesn't seem like its getting fuel. Here's the serial number and video. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
