Replacing the timer resolved my problem. The solenoid and the relay could have been ok but I still saved huge over calling in Bobcat service. Keep up the good work. I've used this forum to trouble shoot a couple issues now with success. Donation on its way.

It does have the timer. Bobcat #6665522. Three leads. Blk, Wht and Red. Goes from the engine wire harness to the timer then out to the solenoid. The one I was able to find on ebay looks much different than the original black box. The new one looks more like the other relays and it has 3 plugs...

The solenoid opens the valve, but when I hit the starter, the valve shuts again. I'm thinking that the timer is only delivering the 5 volts and closes while cranking. Any suggestions of a good website to get a new one coming?

After I posted the last one I learned from a related post that the linkage should have minimal clearance from the stop. Lengthened the linkage and it functions perfectly. The new solenoid was functioning but the relay must have tripped off when it couldn't center in the coil. Oh well, I've got a...

The new relay changed nothing. The black box is indeed the timer #6665522. There is one on ebay for a little over $100.00. But it looks different than my original. Like you said, like the relay. The new one looks like it's got 3 plugs where mine has two. Think it will work? What do you need a...

Confirmed that it is the C series. Checked all the fuses in the two blocks. All good. The farthest relay is labeled "shutdown". I took that one out and have a new one coming. The rest are labeled starter, lights, brake etc. If this doesn't work, I'll suspect the timer. I notice that when I turn...

Thanks for the reply. I think it is a C series. But I will have to confirm that. Would my owners manual tell me where to find the particular relay for the solenoid? I haven't a clue. First I will start checking fuses. But I suspect it is a relay, since it was intermittent before it failed...

I thought my solenoid went bad on my 753. Got a new one and still nothing. Is there a fuse or relay that went bad? Looks like the black is grnd and the white is power. not sure what the red one in the plug is for.
