I’m new here from east coast along the Merrimack River. New Holland L565 will run then stalls after 20 seconds. New fuel, fuel filters with seafoam, 911 additive and a fuel additive to stop gelling.
 
On my lx865, it was the fuel shut off solenoid, exactly the same symptoms, I have another post on here explaining better, but replacing the solenoid with a cheap aftermarket fixed the problem.

I’m looking for your other post, can you send the link? While I was waiting for a reply I backed off the bleed screw near injectors. Thought it could be air in line as my fuel indicator is non functional. Ran out of fuel. Seems a previous owner worked over the screw and now I need to replace the bleeder screw and remove the other remaining end. But will read your solenoid fix while I wait for the mail. Thank you
 
I worked for a rental company and we had a New Holland skid steer and it would do that, the fuel relay had a timer built in and if it did not get a signal after about 20 seconds it would cut off we checked every thing replaced the control panel from different know running units and fuel relays and as if I remember correctly oil pressure units and water temperature, as it turned out it was put on jack stands infront of my tool box as that was where we had space for it and I was tired of it setting there so I jumped in it one evening checking fuses and I would start it and it would be running and die as the timer ran out, and as it was close to quiting time it had started to get dark in the shop and I noticed a flash above me and I thought it was in the fuse panel, and of course the unit died, I restarted it and watch and sure enough it would flash and die, I pulled each fuse out and checked them and they all looked fine and checked fine with a meter, I put them back in and same thing this time I saw which fuse and I checked to make sure it was making good contact it was so I pulled it and got a flashlight to shine behind it and sure enough it had a crack in it right next to where the fuse would blow, I guess the current low enough that it did not blow but the crack made it pull away so it acted like a switch, I replaced with a new fuse and took it out side and drove it aroung for about 5 minutes with no problems and parked it for the night, then the next morning I ran it for 15 more minutes to make sure it was operating ok and sent it to make money again.
The get a lot of vibration in the top of the rops so I guessthat could have led to the fuse to fail.

This was from years ago...

Thanks a bunch for all the help and suggestions. The EIC and mllud were right. The Err 02 error code was remedied by replacing the fuel shut off solenoid. Here is some info that will hopefully be useful to someone down the road. The machine would run for about a minute, then the voltage to the fuel solenoid would start dropping. When the voltage got down to 9 volts the machine would shut itself off giving the Err 02 code. The fuel solenoid would get extremely hot in the 2 or 3 minutes it took for automatic shut down. The resistance on the bad solenoid was 2.2 Ohms. The new solenoid read 14.9 Ohms. I looked the part up on messnicks? and it was $140. The local NH tractor dealer had NH brand solenoids for $99 or aftermarket solenoids for $49. Being a cheapskate I got the cheap one and so far have about 8 or 9 trouble free hours on it. (knock on wood)
