Hello im new to this
my G 1700 was running and just stopped and now it wont stay running what should i look for to get it back running
i hope it is an easy fix
for shitz and grins.. Check that your fuel valve is open fully. Also pull fuel cap off and see if you have fuel .... you never know. Then start her WITH CAP OFF to see if that makes a difference. Report back what you find out.


Beside that; replace fuel filters. Bleed the fuel system afterwards. Search in here will get you info on how to bleed her. Look at rubber fuel lines too. Might be time to replace them. They come apart from inside out. Pieces inside can act like a flapper valve and shut off flow of fuel. Orr bad hose is allowing more air into the system than the fuel system can bleed away. For some reason diesel engines can't run on air..... not sure why:D
