Reply:If the machine will start, but won't stay running, I'd look and see if the machine has a low oil cut off and start trouble shooting there. Most diesels on heavy equipment are pretty much idiot proof ( at least the older ones...) If it gets air, fuel and cranks, it runs. At that point it doesn't need any electricity, unlike a gas engine. The electric only kills the engine by shutting down the fuel, unlike a gas engine where you ground out the spark plugs or turn off the electric to the ignition system..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
Reply:If I remember correctly, that machine has 3 dummy safetys, overheat, low oil, and low fuel. Check all of those and get back to us.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
