[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 9232, member: 897"] Is the fuel inlet valve lever spring loaded? With the power off if you twist the fuel inlet valve lever and release it, does it return to the closed position? I thought all these machines were designed as “Fail Safe” meaning that if you lose power the fuel inlet valve should close automatically. So the fuel inlet valve lever either has to be spring loaded or the solenoid has to be spring loaded. If you unplug the solenoid and power it directly from the battery does it snap open and closed as you apply and remove power? If not, I would suspect the solenoid is bad. I had an intermittent short in the harness on my 763 and was losing power to the fuel solenoid. Every time I bounced it good the engine would shut off. I was twisting the fuel inlet valve open and jamming in a stick to hold it open to use the loader. The dealer had it 3 times and finally replaced the entire harness. Even they couldn't find the short... Jeff [/QUOTE]
