Possible Causes

Failed fuel shutoff solenoid, Stuck mechanical stop linkage, Open stop relay contacts, Wiring fault in stop circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Be prepared to use the mechanical emergency stop or fuel shutoff if the engine will not stop.

  • Use manual stop: Operate the mechanical stop lever on the injection pump or use the emergency stop button to shut down.
  • Inspect fuel shutoff solenoid: Check for clicking sound when stop is commanded. Measure voltage at the solenoid. Replace if it does not actuate with proper voltage.
  • Check stop relay: Verify that the relay energizes and passes power to the solenoid when stop is commanded.
  • Linkage inspection: Ensure the stop lever and linkage move freely and are not jammed.
