just started,,machine will only start and stay running if I move one of the hoe levers quickly back and forth,,,something is stalling the hydraulics to load the engine and stall it out...never heard of this before..any ideas????

    If the machine has a extenda hoe check to see if the pedal/lever is stuck and not in the center. Machine's with the pedal on the floor will sometimes get trash/drink bottles/tools up under the pedal and not return to the center or get stuck from little use and cause that to happen.
