Kubota L3830 won't run more than 5 minutes. Sounds like some kind of safety feature is making fuel solenoid shut tractor off. Bypassed seat and PTO and still have the same problem. Could fuel solenoid be bad? Any answers appreciated.

I don't think it's a fuel problem, because the engine doesn't run rough like its starving for fuel. You can hear the fuel solenoid click and then the engine shuts down. I blowed the alternator fuse yesterday, which in turn killed the panel on the tractor, and the tractor ran fine. But when I replaced the 7.5A fuse for the alternator, the problem came back. I believe it's gotta be something electrical.
