L3130 fuel shut down issue

[Wayne18]

I have an L 3130 with approximately 1050 hours. if I’m going downhill or in the level somewhere around 1000 to 1100 RPMs, it will cut off. if I catch and let off the fuel it’ll continue to idle and I’m barely moving not bouncing around. but I can be going uphill can do anything I want to run it Hard, dig bounce and it will not cut off. It’s just in the level and going downhill and you don’t have to be moving aggressively or bouncing around. It’ll just cut off every time somewhere around 1000 to 1100 RPMs. Any info will be helpful. I know common issues is the fuel solenoid itself or the seat switch but like I said, you can just barely be idling around in the smooth gravel road and it will do it every time around 1000 to 1100 RPM.

Fuel filter / seperator issue like water in diesel, or Lift pump is bad.

This sounds a little like some BX (I think) owners experienced when a piece of plastic, from the tank manufacture, would sporadically cover the tank outlet. Others have experienced a blockage from a leaf or other debris getting in the tank.

I don't know if you can empty the tank and look inside, or if you'd need to remove the tank and clean it

The fuel solenoid is cutting off. I can hear it click, if I let off the fuel it’ll continue to run. Not starving for fuel, can hear the fuel solenoid click and shut off or if let off the peddle it will click again and continue to run. It do this continuously moving in the level or down hill.

Do you happen to have a bunch of keys hanging on the ignition switch, which could cause it to be intermittent?

Other than that, it sounds like a loose connection.

Go under the tractor and see if the hydrostat safety switch is coming apart. Take hold of the wiring going into the switch and give it a little pull, then push it back toward the switch. Does the plastic insert move in and out of the metal body?

Are you really skinny?

I’ll check the wiring at pump. Thanks

Not the wiring at the pump, wiring at the HST switch.
