i have looked everywhere on the back and front of the bobcat but can not find the fuel shutoff solenoid to save my life. any ideas about where it is located?
Look lear the injector pump, there will be a round solenoid with 3 wires hanging out of it that mounts to the engine. It is smaller than you may think, it is not an external solenoid like the earlier machines ran.
The DI engines had it mount internally, the other ones were an external solenoid.
