[QUOTE="craigb93, post: 42265, member: 4541"] These machines originally have a mechanical pump driven from the engine cam shaft. They don't last long with ethanol blend gasoline. I replaced mine with an electric pump, a Carter P4070. If yours has had an electric pump added be sure it is wired with a fused power supply. I have seen them powered from the coil primary circuit. This is not adequate as it is only 9 volts when running. If the sock filter in the tank is clogged or the fuel safety plunger on the carburetor inlet has a short, either will give the same symptoms. The pigtail on the solenoid is extremely close to the engine block and if the insulation is frayed at that point it will cause the solenoid to lose power and shut down. Try to save yours by gently rerouting the wire. They are ~$150 new from Bobcat. I use Stabil Marine fuel additive year round to try and off-set the havoc of the ethenol in the gasoline. [/QUOTE]
