This is a fuel shut-off solenoid from a 2015 Cat 305.5e2 CR mini excavator. The excavator was running fine and then at intermittent intervals would drop in RPM's and power, spit and sputter, and then return to full power. Eventually the excavator completely cut off while operating and then would not start - specifically it was a crank no-start condition. After thoroughly testing the fuel system for fuel delivery, it was determined that the solenoid may be the cause. After removing the fuel shut-off solenoid from the excavator, bleeding the fuel system at the fuel injection pump, and then cranking the engine over several times, the excavator started. This video shows how I tested the solenoid to prove that it is bad.
