Bobcat 334 excavator starting issue

Homewood35 · 2022-10-13 21:27

I have a Bobcat 334 that you have to turn the key on, open the engine cover and push in the rod that goes to the fuel solenoid to get it to start. The plunger stays depressed until it starts. Is the solenoid bad or the solenoid timer switch? I’m terrible with diagnosing anything electrical.

    If anybody runs into a problem with this, I figured out last night that it was a relay in the fuse box. I was about to order a new solenoid and figured it there’s a fuse AND a relay for the fuel.
