bobcat 763 fuel shut off solenoid problem

[bobcat324]

Replaced the timer & now it starts every single time. Being old the wires at the connectors were compromised.

Your shut off solenoid contains two circuits: pull and hold. From what you described, your hold circuit is working fine, but your pull circuit is not.
When you first turn on your ignition switch, both circuits should activate. After a short period, a timer in the pull circuit will time out and release the pull circuit, allowing the hold to take over. The reason for this is it takes a larger force to pull the solenoid than to hold it in place, and the pull coil will eventually over heat and burn out if powered continuously.
There are a few different possibilities for your problem here:
1) the pull coil is defective
2) the pull timer is defective
3) there is a break somewhere in the pull circuit wiring
Any of these can be diagnosed with a multi-meter, by probing the connector to the fuel shut off solenoid.
