I started my JD2320 this morning and it ran fine. Went away for a couple of hours and now it fires but won't run after I stop the starter. I've checked all fuses, hoses, fuel filter, etc. I have good fuel all the way to the fuel injection pump. If I shut off the fuel and keeping trying to start, it will finally run out of fuel and not fire. As soon as I turn on the fuel, after several tries, it again runs while the starter is turning but not after. There is a small spring-loaded lever on the side of the fuel injection pump. When I pull the hose off the pump outlet that normally goes to the injectors and press the lever, fuel is pushed out the outlet. Does anyone know the purpose of that lever? Is there anything else that could keep the engine from starting? In the parts catalog, there is a fuel solenoid. Not sure if it could cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, and welcome to TBN. The fuel solenoid could certainly cause your problem as could a defective ignition switch or a bad connection. On a Kubota the fuel solenoid is activated momentarily when the engine is shut down but otherwise is normally open to allow fuel flow. You need to find out how your Deere is configured.
Thanks for the reply. I pulled my fuel shutoff solenoid and checked the resistance against the specs in the tech manual and 2 of 3 were off but identical. However, with the solenoid out of the tractor, the tractor started up fine and ran until I manually shutoff the fuel. So I bought a new one and it solved the problem. I LAO tested the resistance of the new one and they matched my old one perfectly, I'm assuming the specs may have changed.

The resistance check confirms the coil is of the correct value - not open or shorted. It does not guarantee the mechanical integrity of the valve itself.
