Kubota L48
My Kubota started fine this morning, but then it stalled out. It is turning over, but will not start. It has plenty of diesel. The fuel does not seem to be flowing past the injection pump. Any suggestions? Trying to trouble shoot. Thank you for your assistance!

check that the fuel shut off solenoid is operating correctly. If the solenoid is bad and wont open then fuel wont flow. That would be the first thing that I would check.

Agree with treeeman. I believe the fuel shut off solenoid is fused. Start by checking the fuse.

Stalling after running could be a plugged fuel filter. Or skudge in the tank blocking the outlet. Can you see if the filter bowl is full?

Depending on whether your L48 is the newer or older style (SN up to 52526 or 52527 & above) the fuel solenoid system is different. I think on the earlier one its only active to stop the engine. Later it was changed to be active to start too.
