If the lift pump wasn't giving you fuel it would run then die within a few seconds.... It all seems to be heat related, all i can think of is there is a sensor that is telling the computer its too hot and to shut down. Now i don't know if the computer actually checks engine temp and shuts down if it exceeds the *safe* running temp. Also, check the engine oil level while you are there.I would check coolant level, then with the engine cool, start the machine and let it warm up with the radiator cap removed, check that the water is indeed warming up. If not, you may have a broken thermostat or water pump impeller. Check the radiator fins that they aren't caked up with crap. Also, check your oil cooler fins, it may even be detecting your oil is getting too hot, check hydro oil level to make sure its not too low and causing cavitation which will over heat your hydraulic oil very quickly (and damage parts).As bobbie mentioned, the fuel cut solenoid could also be the problem. When the machine won't start check the position of the solenoid, if it is in the run position it may be safe to assume it is ok, but if its in the stop position it may indeed be the solenoid.I wish you luck!</blockquote>
