Have a Kubota B2910 that started off not start starting, checked safety switches, which were all good, injectors get fuel and narrowed down to the fuel solenoid shutoff. So i was a in a pinch to keep things going and ground off the plunger pin on the solenoid so the tractor would start. This works fine tractor starts up fine just have to snuff out the engine from getting air to shut it off.

Got the replacement solenoid and installed it, the tractor still will not start, all fuses are good. Does this mean i have a problem in the wiring? Looking for assistance in next steps.

thanks

How's your ground wiring? A good number of these electrical issues come back to bad grounding. Clean all the ground connections and try again.

Thanks for reply I just checked all the grounding I could fine and everything is good. It just won't start. Tractor turns over just won't start as it must not be turning on the solenoid to let fuel flow

Curious how many wires on solenoid?
Three wires- 1 ground one run and one start.
So during crank it energizes both wires,start wire draws solenoid open and other wire holds while key is on. Tracing these wires to ign switch or control box may help solve your problem
