Engine stops without warning

[hokeypokey2001]

Hey friends, I have a Bobcat 753 G series. The engine will suddenly stop while working, just like you turned off the key or strained the engine down. It shows no codes. Sometimes it will not restart right away, the starter will not crank like a dead battery except all engine lights work. When it will not crank, let sit for awhile, it will start right up. It may run perfect for a few minutes and then suddenly stop again almost throwing you out the front. I have cleaned and tested all the fuses. Anybody had this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill Cole

hey friends, I found one problem and created another. I disconnected and cleaned all the electrical connectors I could reach under the operators cage. I found water in the connector going up to the key switch under the seat. I cleaned, reconnected etc., turned on the switch to start engine and have NO POWER at all. Any ideas? Thanks, bill cole

Start with fuses, then re-check the connectors you disconnected. One may have broken, and it seems like it was the main power one.... They can and do get corroded and get brittle, its just a possibility though.
