    L3901 engine powers down, stalls after running a short time

    Been using a Kubota L3901, non HST. There's a lever for Forward or Reverse direction with a neutral position called a Synchro-Shuttle Shift Lever. Tractor starts up fine. No warning lights are on. As soon as the Synchro-Shuttle Shift Lever leaves neutral the engine dies. Where should i even...
