Engine Starts but Stalls Immediately

SMCS - 1250-035; 1400-035

Probable Causes
• Fuel supply
• Electrical connectors or power supply
• Engine speed/timing sensor
• Ignition system
• Excessive load

Recommended Repairs
Fuel Supply

Make sure that fuel is supplied at a sufficient pressure that is stable. Make sure
that the size of the fuel line is sufficient. Inspect the fuel system for leaks.

The following conditions can cause the engine to malfunction:

• Low fuel pressure


• High fuel pressure
• Poor fuel quality

Make sure that the fuel pressure is correct. When possible, interview the operator
in order to determine if fuel quality is in question. Try to determine if the source
of the fuel was changed.

Inspect the fuel system components: fuel filter, gas pressure regulator, gas
shutoff valve, fuel metering valve and actuator for the throttle. Verify that the
system's components are operating correctly.

Replace the fuel filter, if necessary.

Electrical Connectors or Power Supply

1. Inspect the power supply connections and the ground. Check the wiring
harnesses and the connectors from the power supply to the terminal box.
Inspect the connectors in the terminal box. Refer to Troubleshooting,
"Inspecting Electrical Connectors".
2. Check for the 168-02 diagnostic code for "System Voltage
intermittent/erratic". If this diagnostic code is logged, proceed to
Troubleshooting, "Electrical Power Supply".

Engine Speed/Timing Sensor

Make sure that the speed/timing sensor is installed correctly. Refer to


Troubleshooting, "Engine Speed/Timing Sensor".

Make sure that the timing wheel is correctly installed.

Ignition System

Inspect the ignition transformers for the following items: loose connections,
moisture, short circuits and open circuits. Inspect the primary wiring and the
secondary electrical connections.

Make sure that the correct transformers and spark plugs are installed.

Maintain the spark plugs according to the engine's Operation and Maintenance
Manual.

Excessive Load

Make sure that the load is not excessive. Reduce the load. If necessary, disengage
the driven equipment and test the engine.
