A diesel fuel shut-off solenoid contains an inlet pipe, which transports the diesel fuel from the fuel line to the solenoid valve. ... If the sensors detect a dangerous problem with the machine's operations or engine, the electrical signal running to the solenoid coil will automatically shut off.

Did you test your fuel shutoff solenoid and find it to be not working? Check Amazon for a replacement: amzn.to/39xAOLR. Hope the video helped. 👍

Useful indeed. Thank you

[@SeidelRanch]

Thanks. Glad it was helpful.

Good visual of the test. Thanks for making the video!

Thanks for the video. Debugging these things is a pain.

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, chasing fuel issues can be a major pain.

Thanks for the video, it helped me start my excavator

[@SeidelRanch]

Thanks 👍

[@SeidelRanch]

No problem 👍

[@topbuilder3790]

I had a similar problem on a Ford 1920. To test you can run without the solenoid. To temporarily fix while waiting on parts, cut the plunger off and turn off injection pump manually.

[@SeidelRanch]

Thanks for the tip.

[@JerichoRally]

This blows my mind. So IF that solenoid, in this case, were to go bad, it's natural state would be to shut fuel off? It's difficult to make that conclusion here because the solenoid is actually operating properly. Great video!

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, but I think that is how they all work. So if there is no power, it shuts the fuel off. It will only open the fuel if there is power. The shut off solenoid on my John Deere 317 skid steer is the same way. So if it fails, you will probably not be able to start the engine.

[@unfknknown9678]

​@@SeidelRanchif the solenoid wasn't working would the vehicle still start on ether??

[@SeidelRanch]

@@unfknknown9678 It would try, yes. This cuts the fuel.

[@unfknknown9678]

@@SeidelRanch my td27 won't even try to fire normally but it'll kinda start for a second with ether sprayed in the intake . Fingers crossed this is my issue then.

[@garygearhart1016]

That’s what I believe is my problem my solenoid is going bad I can usually hear the sound when I turn the key on you hear solenoid working but now I can’t hear it

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, you can usually hear them pretty clear when that key turns.

[@texasboysnyder]

Is the tip magnetic to where it pulls the fuel shut off bar

[@SeidelRanch]

Not on mine. This one pushes the valve to shut off the fuel when power is turned off. The valve opens from a spring inside it when the solenoid is powered up.

[@John-xu3jk]

so if the selenoid clicks when the key is switched to on, the selenoid is good ....(?)

[@SeidelRanch]

I would say usually. If you can hear it click, it's probably ok.

[@Dwelly70]

what do you mean when you say "and so fourth " ?

[@SeidelRanch]

I mean the engine is attached to the frame and the whole tractor is a ground so the solenoid does not need a ground prong. It only has a positive prong because it's ground is the whole tractor when it's screwed in to the injector pump.

[@christianraubenstine5930]

What did the problem end up being? Did you need to replace the injection pump?

[@SeidelRanch]

I had to rebuild the injector pump, yes. It was all clogged up.

How to disassemble solenoid

[@SeidelRanch]

I don't think they are made to be disassembled. Some may be, but this one was not.

[@user-dj3qc8tw2k]

Здравствуйте скажите как сильно он нагревается и не могли бы вы подсказать номер запчасти?😢

[@SeidelRanch]

Each machine will have its own part number. They should not get very hot.

[@nimbusxxl-xl4fg]

Hallo, wieviel Ampere zieht das Solenoid ?

[@SeidelRanch]

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber es ist sehr wenig.

[@armandomaldonado1559]

Can you show it what you pulled it out of can you show us where it's located? It's out of the truck. We don't know where you got it.

[@SeidelRanch]

This one is out of a skid steer. They are usually on the fuel injector housing.

[@frontlinemedia4270]

What about a 2 wire solenoid

[@SeidelRanch]

Then it's usually one negative wire and one positive wire.

[@frontlinemedia4270]

@@SeidelRanch it's not. They're both orange and connect to two red wires

[@frontlinemedia4270]

There is also continuity between the two wires

[@SeidelRanch]

@@frontlinemedia4270 Ok, then it sounds like it really is a one wire but it's just along a route for the power wire. Basically it sounds like there is more than one item powered off that power wire and the solenoid is just one of them.

[@kenneththompson6543]

I'm having this problem right now.. how do u remove it???

[@SeidelRanch]

Mine just unscrewed, but it's different on different machines. Usually you can just unscrew it.

[@kenneththompson6543]

@@SeidelRanch I'm trying 2 pull it out of a skidsteer "GEHL" Isuzu engine.. r they hand tightened?? It's giving me a hard time 2 remove cause the space is limited

[@SeidelRanch]

@@kenneththompson6543 This one was just tight enough to have to use some pliers, but it was close. I think it's meant to be hand tight on this one. My other skid steer has a hex head on it so you can wrench it out.

[@kenneththompson6543]

@@SeidelRanch thank u.. I got it off yesterday.. put the new 1 on 2day.. only 2 find out 1 of the wire that went 2 it is cut somewhere.. so I just spliced it & ran an independent wire 2 the key switch

[@BriansGemini105MC]

The solenoid needs a full twelve volts to work, If the battery is down it wont operate the solenoid,

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, I have noticed some are more open to less than 12 volts than others but pretty much any less than 12.0 volts and you are not starting that machine anyway.

[@mohicanjoe2079]

If you cut the end of that rod off wouldn't the work also?

[@SeidelRanch]

I am not sure what you are asking. This solenoid is working properly. Cutting the shaft off would keep the fuel on all the time and could make your engine keep running even with the key turned off.

[@mohicanjoe2079]

@@SeidelRanch I'm was saying that if that solenoid started malfunctioning, couldn't a person just snip the end of that needle off untill it got replaced

[@SeidelRanch]

@@mohicanjoe2079 IT would probably allow it to start. The issue would be the fuel will still be going to the engine and it would not kill it. Many engines use the fuel shutoff to kill the engine.

[@mohicanjoe2079]

@@SeidelRanch that would probably explain the backfire at the end lol....thank you sir

[@chrislacosse2560]

It's not a pump it's a fuel shut off solenoid

[@SeidelRanch]

Right. Did I say that in the video? If I did I meant solenoid.

[@curtishoward5584]

Friends B2400 starts runs for few seconds and dies . Starts easy but dies within few seconds. I wonder if this is his problem.

[@SeidelRanch]

Could be a fuel pump. Usually this keeps it from starting at all.

[@curtishoward5584]

@@SeidelRanch ya that’s what it seems. Mine will run, starts same as always , but only runs for 5sec maybe then like cutting off key. While it’s running it will throttle up nice n smooth , no fuel knocks , no smoke. I’ll let ya know what the cure was. I may try to get fix it this week.
