    L3830 Turns over but won't start

    No cab, all 5A fuses check good, will check voltage at 2P connector, Thanks

    L3830 Turns over but won't start

    was running fine, after a short time sitting off she would turn over but wouldn't start. Cleaned fuel filter per manual but no luck.

    L3830 cuts out

    after determining the correct wiring diagram the problem turned out to be the OPC timer. I pulled it and tested it on the bench and watched as the 12v to the stop relay would drop out and then kick back in randomly. this caused the tractor to cut out randomly followed by clicking & clacking of...

    L3830 cuts out

    Solenoid has been swapped & problem remains. there are 2 wires to the solenoid: blk/blu & blk/red. blk/blu traces back the stop relay but I can't trace continuity from blk/red. I will double check with key in all positions & post results but I'll be gone for a few days

    L3830 cuts out

    L3830 GST, Label reads: 3830D sn# 32564 If anyone can direct me to the correct wiring diagram / schematic I'd appreciate it. when I try to check continuity from the stop solenoid back to the stop relay the diagrams I have don't seem to match. I'm thinking about a toggle sw to send 12v to the...

    I'll post the serial number in a few days

    L3830 cuts out

    It's a GST. by start / run sw you mean the key/ignition sw right? I've tested the stop relay & solenoid according to the WSM & the 12v is there by the time I'm set up to check. I have 2 different wiring diagrams & neither seems accurate when trying to check continuity.

    L3830 cuts out

    Tractor cuts out whether moving or parked, stop solenoid & relay clicking can be heard & eventually will start back up. cleaned battery connections & ground, cleaned 2 grounds on left side of tractor, replaced seat sw, tested & swapped around glow & stop relays, swapped stop solenoid, still have...

    L3830GST cuts out/solenoid clicks wildly

    where are we talkin' about ? I've cleaned battery terminals, battery ground & ground by left front wheel.

    L3830GST cuts out/solenoid clicks wildly

    so it's not the fuel stop solenoid as I swapped it out, I tested the stop solenoid relay per WSM & it appears to be fine. now I'm wondering if I have some safety sw intermittent ? no rhyme or reason as to when it cuts out, wiggled cabling etc. tested & eliminated seat sw, no error message after...

    L3830 fuel control solenoid

    so far I've switched the glow & stop solenoid relays, cleaned all grounds & connections, measured resistance of solenoid coils ( 16 & 1.5 ohms ), checked 12v at both pins of the solenoid cable with key in 'on' position & everything appears to be OK. I can check continuity of one wire (black/red...

    L3830 fuel control solenoid

    Hi, I'm inquiring about the physical location of the fuel control solenoid on my L 3830 to test an electrical problem. There is a clicking / relay sound, sometimes while running and sometimes waiting for the glow plug light to go out, and the tractor dies. Pete
