VerifiedHello Warren 1977, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will try and assist you with your problem..
The first thing I would check is your fuel shut off solonoid..is it operating correctly? Sometimes they will stick or not fully open..Does this machine have a electric solenoid on the pump with a rod and lever, or is this the type thats fully electronic with a wiring harness that goes into pump? Does it have an electric fuel transfer pump to push fuel to Injection pump..If so you can test the electric pump by turning key to start, crank it for a second, release key but not shut off..listen for pump to run..Let me know what type it is, we can go from here..Don't press accept untill I,ve helped you ok..Jason
